"It is also going to allow a cold front to our north to move through Saturday night and bring lower humidity for Sunday and Monday."

Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents
Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents Although Hurricane Larry won't get within 700 miles of the East Coast, the National Weather Service says it does pose an indirect -- and potentially deadly -- danger. Unlike Hurricane Ida, Larry won't bring rain, floods, howling wind or tornadoes. The concern is in the sea. A year ago, Hurricane Teddy was blamed for a rip current drowning in New Jersey, a week after Hurricane Paulette stirred waves that produced two others in the Garden State and South Carolina. Fast-moving channels of water from Hurricane Lorenzo caused eight East Coast deaths, including those of two Rockaway Beach teens…

Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say Hurricane Larry is making waves -- big ones -- as he spins his way up the Atlantic, but it's still highly doubtful he'll come close enough to do any serious damage to the East Coast, the National Weather Service repeated Monday. Doubling down on its predictions of the Labor Day weekend, the service said the worst we could see in our area are "significant swells" in the Atlantic. These will be "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," according to its latest report. Bermuda could take a hit, most likely on Thursday, but that wasn't a sure thing, forecasters said. …
