Hurricane Bill

Hurricane Bill is spinning out causing quite a stir along the east coast. One surfer has already been a victim of the hurricane unfortunately. But the hurricane is weakening, it is currently a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds around 85 miles per hour. Here's a decent website to track it if you like hurricanes.
The good news about Hurricane Bill is that it is a strong storm compared to the current systems we have in the US right now, so it somewhat messes up the way our weather systems progress. The hurricane is actually very close to another low pressure system and cold front that is moving east... (this is making it so Hurricane Bill will not likely make landfall) The two low pressure centers are kind of slowing down the progression of our weather makers. So while we have a low pressure just to our West that will bring rain, it won't make it's way to us until late Monday night.

So expect a sunny finish to the weekend though we'll also see a bump in humidity as well as temperatures, may even feel like summer again!
