Hurricane Noel moves into the Atlantic

More than 100 people have died in the Caribbean from Tropical Storm Noel. That storm drenched the Bahamas on Thursday. As of 10 PM, winds had increased to 80 mph and the storm was upgraded to a hurricane. Noel is the fifth hurricane this season.

Over the next 24 hours, Noel will lose tropical characteristics and become a large area of low pressure as it moves along a front draped over the east coast. Rainfall could still be heavy from Washington to New York this weekend.

Meantime, here at home, high pressure will extend our great weather a few more days!
