Local Hi-res visible satellite images reveal some lower-level scattered cloud conditions across the area associated with some increased low/mid level water vapor. The next few days will feature partly sunny conditions with high temperatures approaching 80-85 degrees.

Through the beginning of next week, the surface high pressure that has been yielding the all the nice conditions over the past few days will begin to degrade as it moves off the east coast. The next chance of any precipitation will come in during the middle parts of next week

Hurricane Ophelia has been moving erratically over the past week being steered by rather weak mid and upper levels winds. At the moment, Ophelia is a minimal category 1 hurricane with winds near 80 mph. She is a large storm with very little foreward movement at the present time.


There is still a significant amount of uncertainty regarding Ophelia's future track, but it seems she will make landfall along the southeast coast as a category 1 and maybe even a category 2 hurricane.
