Okay, I just heard the 6/p news and it's now "official" according to the local NBC weather guru and, presumably, the NWS and NOAA.
Anyone living on the coastline from the mid-Atlantic region up through Maine and New Brunswick is warned to "carefully monitor the forecasted tracks of the storm" between now and Friday. So I guess this isn't really an amendment of my earlier post this afternoon. Watch and monitor through Friday..... Hopefully this will be one of those no-big-deals as it swings away from the coastline. Although, to tell the truth, if I were anywhere between Jax and Maryland I'd probably be making "just-in-case" plans right about now!
