Discussion
A cold front is working its way through the region this morning and it’ll stall out across southern Virginia by tonight. It’ll turn out sharply cooler today and on Tuesday as well on the back side of the frontal system and there will be a stiff northeast wind. Meanwhile, Hurricane Erin - now a category 4 “major” storm - will stay well offshore and pass by to the east of here at mid-week. However, rip currents, rough surf, high waves, and beach erosion will be a problem along much of the eastern seaboard during the next several days. High pressure takes control of the weather for the second half of the week and provide us with continued comfortable temperatures for this time of year in the Thursday, Friday, Saturday time period.
