If you were worried about being swept out to sea during your Outer Banks beach three-day weekend, it seems that for the time being, you’re safe. Hurricane Frances seems to be dead-set on striking between Miami and Cape Canaveral. Forecast models differ, but Capital Weather seems to think that data for one model that takes the storm up into the Carolinas is flawed. So unless you’re going to Fort Lauderdale this weekend, things should be nice all around.

But once Frances is over land, it is likely we will see heavy rains as the storm deposits its moisture over the Southeast United States by early next week. Regardless of where Frances goes, the storm is worth watching. Check in with Capital Weather or Gothamist Weather for more details.
