The beautiful fall stretch will continue through Saturday, though clouds could start to increase late in the day. By Saturday night into Sunday, a weak system could bring at least a chance for scattered showers and a few thunderstorms closer to the coast.
Most of the rain is expected to be brief. Behind that system, another reinforcing shot of cool, dry air arrives Sunday, keeping temperatures below average into the middle of next week.
Tropics
Hurricane Melissa is accelerating northeast and moving away from the Caribbean. As of Friday morning, maximum winds are near 90 mph, and the system is racing past Bermuda. Melissa is expected to lose its tropical characteristics tonight, becoming a strong post-tropical cyclone over the North Atlantic.
While the storm will bring strong winds and rough surf to Bermuda and parts of Atlantic Canada, Melissa poses no direct threat to the U.S. coastline.
