and for the rest of tomorrow, afternoon or evening, southeastern mass and the cape could have a spot shower or thunderstorm. the drier air will start to flow in and it will be comfortable and pleasant updoor day on friday and it will be pleasant to be outdoors on saturday as well. one thing you may notice on saturday is the sun could become filtered as high cloud high clouds will be the forerunner of whatever will be tropical storm hermine at that point. how intense it will be, of course, we'll talk about that in a moment but for overnight tonight a muggy night, only dropping to 70 in boston. 70s to around 80 tomorrow with the high humidity. just keep an eye to the sky for beach and boating tomorrow. but the rip current risk is lower tomorrow than it has been in recent days but that rip current rest look go back up slowly accelerate and move more north-northeast. already we have, with the spaghetti plot, a track that looks pretty certain across inland areas of the southeast. then reemerging off the maryland coast deeper into the weekend. after that, steering currents are weak and it

mass and the cape. that's where the front will lie. after that goes through m comfortable air can throw in on friday. friday and saudi look like pleasant days around here. as far as saturday is concerned we should start out dry. no question, with some sunshine. that system to the south, still hermine or what's left of it, converting to a nontropical type of storm, as the first apressure love it be high, thin clouds, that should gradually thicken as we go through saturday afternoon and evening. hour winds. it still has some real estate in the golf, very warm water, to intensify some. so it will probably be a stronger tropical storm or maybe even a minimal hurricane, when it makes landfall along the upper florida coast. there are tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches for that area. after that it probably tracks over land. a lot of moisture is all along this track. as we get to sunday and monday, thhe nontropical in nature, or partially nontropical, will reemerge off the coast but how close it will
