hurricane. it will still impact our winds and coast. the models are in pretty good agreement for a while, and then we get toward the end of next week, and there's a lot of disagreement. so we got a lot of time to watch it. that's a whole week away, that last picture. so there's sunday with mostly cloudy skies. finally get some sunshine on monday and tuesday, and we could see some of the impacts from matthew as early as wednesday and some rain could even be from a front coming in from the west, but that's chilly weather, onshore winds, windy conditions. and then we may dry out by next weekend. we'll be right back.
