Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
*** Coastal Flood Advisory today for a large part of Hampton Roads and coastal North Carolina. Minor level tidal flooding expected again today.
A windy end to the work week with more sunshine. Highs in the mid 80s with building clouds and increasing rain chances this weekend.
We will see more sunshine today with a few clouds mixing in. Highs will return to the low 80s. It will still be windy today with NE winds at 10 to 20 mph. The strong NE winds combined with the rough surf from Hurricane Earl could trigger some minor coastal flooding.
Expect highs in the mid 80s this weekend with building clouds. We will see partly cloudy skies on Saturday with an isolated shower possible. Expect mostly cloudy skies on Sunday with scattered showers. Winds will gradually relax through the weekend.
Showers and storms will continue early next week as a cold front move through. Skies will clear for midweek and high temperatures will remain in the mid 80s.
Today: A Few Clouds, Windy. Highs in the low 80s. Winds: NE 10-20
Tonight: Partly Cloudy. Lows in the upper 60s. Winds: NE 5-15

Tropical Update
Hurricane Earl is centered 255 miles ENE of Bermuda and moving NNE at 22 mph. On the forecast track, Earl will continue to move northeast away from Bermuda today and will move to the southeast of Newfoundland Saturday and Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph with higher gusts. Slight fluctuations in intensity are possible today. Earl is expected to complete its transition to a powerful hurricane-force extratropical low on Saturday and then steadily weaken through early Monday.
We are watching several areas for potential development in the central and eastern Atlantic. All with a low chance for tropical development at this time.
