These people keep shifting their track very slightly further westward every forecast. 48 hours ago it was ramrod-straight up the center of the Chesapeake, now it's basically landfall at Morehead City, NNW inland to Richmond, and over the northern Shenendoah around Winchester, VA/Harpers Ferry, WV in 72 hours, still as a tropical storm with 50 mph winds. She just has not made the northward turn that everybody has been predicting. Izzy, stubborn girl that she is, keeps grinding northwest. I guess she wants to see both the beaches and the mountains on this trip.
If she keeps this track, the problems in Washington won't be wind from the hurricane. They'll be when the Potomac floods from upstream in a couple days. And the flash-flooding in the Blue Ridge could get very ugly, considering the rain that's already fallen up there this year.
