Scott: Dry today, you can thank Earl for this. But for how long?

Earl is providing us with a dry day across SWFL. Another dry day expected tomorrow. Earl is now a cat 4 hurricane with wind at 135 mph, moving to the NW at 17 mph. Earl will come very close to the outer banks of North Carolina. The eye itself may not make landfall in the Carolinas but they will feel huge impacts from a major hurricane.
 
Also watching T.S. Fiona which will have no impact on the US. Fiona turning to the northeast in the next day or so and dissipating quickly.
 
Newly formed Gaston in the Atlantic a few hundred miles off the coast of Africa. To early to tell if Gaston will threaten the US. As of now, computer models want to slowly develop this storm and move it in a WNW direction. Stay tunned.
 
For us tomorrow, dry again and warm, less wind too. A chance of rain by Friday. But more rain in the forecast by Labor day Monday..
