Coastal Surge

The last time this happened, there was some serious damage in Annapolis
and, closer to me, Deale and Chesapeake Beach. We're more than 100'
above sea level right here, so I'm not concerned about a surge but we're
also likely to get three to four inches of rain.

Another holiday weekend...shot.

Yeah, it looks as though your holiday weekend is going to be wet. Here
in Atlanta, we're getting some of the feeder band outer fringes that is
mixing with a front this morning, but will all clear out by the
weekend.
