Isaac Heads East!

The remains of former hurricane Isaac roll on eastward today and looks to bring a damp Labor Day to the mid-Atlantic. The storm has hooked up with a cold front and together they will help with drought issues that much of the country still suffers through. Sadly, for much of the mid-west, this will be too little, too late.  Parts of Virginia still have drought issues but the Old Dominion has faired better than much of the rest of the country. The coming rain will get much of Va. back to average rainfall totals for the year.
Once Isaac and the front clear the coast temperatures will be pretty typical for early September: lows in the 60's and highs in the 80's with humidity being on the low side for the muggy east.
The Gulf Coast, while hit hard by Isaac, is in much better shape than after Katrina but flood cleanup will be ongoing for sometime. The rain should also help get the Mississippi flowing again.
If you plan on being out today, be ready for MUGGY and later a little rain.
