put it a little low. a tropical depression. advisories on this, not a major storm but what a pain in the you know what as we head toward the holiday weekend especially in the carolinas with tropical storm could be making land fall with wind up to 50 miles per hour. and it will meander along the carolina coast. the hurricane center and the problem is it is not so tight that moisture is going to

is at least through midday. tonight will be a mile and muggy one with temperatures in the 60s to 74. here is your forecast. 65 to 70 and isolated storms and it may stick through the blue ridge and an
