our stormont continues tonight. these are life pictures from orleans. what a different scene really all over the state but right there along the coastline people have been gathering because there's just something about seeing the storms.

the waves were big enough that people weren't allowed to go in past their waist. as you stand there, i have to think rhode island beaches, massachusetts bases, they are seeing what you are experiencing. >> reporter: this is really a coastal system. you're talking about a lot of the impact at the shore, especially toward the south coast. getting into rhode island, today they've seen some huge waves. the coast guard house there, that would be the spot to be. waves ng today. the surf is the big story here. you look out over the dunes. i guess even though it's a holiday weekend, you can't complain too much. we haven't had many days that have looked like this. nothing but sunshine and warm weather, but now as soon as we unofficially ended the season here, things looking more like storm season approaching in new england. let's look at the satellite picture where the storm is and where it's going to head over the next couple days. we have our system just spinning is way off to the south right

of a westward turn which was expected today and is moving toward long island. that's going to spiral in clouds and rain bands as we had through the next couple days. very slow gradual movement is expected with the storm center. most of the squalls have been toured to cape cod and the islands. starting to swing their way further northward. a lot of dryer air over the interior free the further north, the lower the rain chances. bigger totals will be focused in this part of the state. we look at wind gusts. nantucket gusting to 58. here on the cape, a gust of 52. the hanis airport at 48 miles per hour. it's not the biggest storm you'll ever see. enough for scattered pockets of damage and really whipping up the surf. we look at the current gusts and it shows a story. it's a similar picture as we had tuesday into wednesday and

weakens over time. here is a look at our impacts. fortunately, for us astronomical tides going down right now. they are not at a high level. it's really about the surf, the rip currents if anyone wants to get into the water. we might be chewing away at the beaches here over the course of this whole week. tonight looking at those scattered showers. best chance south and east. the storm intensity is peaking tonight. it weakens as we head into tuesday and wednesday but it's still strong enough to keep winds blowing and to keep the showers rotating in. a lot of cloud cover tomorrow following a similar idea that north and west of boston mainly dry. the cooler air and strongest winds will be south and east of the city focused right here where we are tonight. as we look at the overall movement of it, you notice this

weaker wednesday, weaker still into thursday, and then finally scooting offshore as we head toward the end of this week. as soon as it leaves, we bring in the heat. looking toward thursday, friday, and saturday, a very warm forecast. summer heat will come right back at us like july heat. looking at 90s for friday and saturday and the chance of a couple thunderstorms. it's an interesting week of new england weather, no question about that. as soon as we get hermine out of the picture forecasters are looking forward to, we're talking about a very warm september 3 the outlook is that the summer warmth will hold on for a good part of the month. that part of all of this, we send it back into the studio. the area is not picking up rainfall from the storm, then you bring in the heat. the drought is actually getting much worse as we head into the
