Offshore storm kicks up surf
One reason we're enjoying this beautiful stretch of dry, sunny weather along the East Coast is that the high-pressure system that's generating our delightful conditions is being held in place by a deep low off the coast, to our east.
From space, the big storm can be seen clearly as it spins in this satellite loop, counter-clockwise, almost like a hurricane. It's also churning up the ocean, and sending strong surf ashore along the Carolina coast, where high surf advisories are up.
The storm is slowly moving off to the northeast, and our fine weather will begin to deteriorate late Saturday as the next low moves our way, with rain due on Sunday and Monday. Sorry.
