Hurricane Earl will pass just east the mid-Atlantic coast Friday then hit CapeCod and the nearby islands pretty violently Friday night. Saturday the stormwill spread its fury into Atlantic Canada.Once Earl is out of the way something nice is going to happen. The heat wavethat has plagued the Northeast all week is going to be smashed to smithereensby a cold front that means business. The cooler air will become wellestablished across the Midwest Friday and will completely erase any traces ofheat in the Northeast this weekend. Instead of upper 80s and 90s, the entireNortheast will finally get to enjoy some refreshing breezes with highs in the60s and 70s. Furthermore, high elevations of the Appalachians from WestVirginia northward will have one day in the 50s.
