· We’ll start this morning into the early afternoon with more drip drip drip…but begin to dry out considerably later on today with beautiful “sunbursts” for those of you leaf-peeping.

· A stretch of gorgeous weather and temperatures moderating into the low and mid 70s to be achieved by Thursday.

· Matthew this morning a Category 4 monster hurricane with max winds at 145 mph was currently devastating the western tip of Haiti with Cuba next, followed by the Bahamas.

· A slow turn toward the NW. will put Matthew in a position to affect Florida, GA. SC. NC. later this week.

· Much too early to get a confident track on Matthew as it pulls away from Cape Hatteras region. But 250 nautical mile circulation means parts of New England may feel it later this weekend or early next week.

· Meanwhile higher pressure will guard us from inclement weather with a very comfortable stretch of good project weather going through the end of this week.

· Matthew as a Cat. 4 hurricane to gradually weaken some will be with us for over the next week. Most model tracks take it close to Cape Hatteras NC late in the week or this weekend.
