This could get a bit interesting around Southern New England Saturday! Gotta watch this one closely, especially from the CT/RI border out across Cape Cod and the Gulf of Maine!

NOT COOL. I'm spending the day in NYC on Saturday and thanks to this, we'll be rained on. Nothing like sight-seeing in thunderstorms. :angry: Can't reschedule--we already have tickets for a show that night.

Not cool #2: This is going to screw up my sitting by the fire pit/Mich Ultra consumption in VT this weekend.

Latest info i just heard has Danny at a strong tropical storm/minimal Hurricane right over Nantucket mid evening on Saturday. If he heads just a bit East of the center of the cone of uncertainty, Both NYC and SW VT may not be that bad!

Still a 70% chance of rain Saturday...and 60% Sunday. :sad:

But! We're heading up this afternoon. So late afternoon/tonight should be good as will most of tomorrow. We'll make the best of it.

80% chance of torrential downpours in NYC on Saturday now. Not looking too good. :( Can't wait to get drenched and then sit around wet for a show and dinner afterward.

Well, it looks like foxwoods (instead of the beach) on Saturday for me... I'll go down, play a little poker, and watch my friends bet ridiculous (to me) sums on the Spanish 21 tables...

fun times.

Could be a wet 140 miles on Sunday for me...

The 1st part of the ride may be wet, but the back 1/2 should atleast dry the rain off 'ya ;)

Hope Sunday PM is good, as I'm going to one of my favorite annual parties that one of my friends holds, and his house CAN'T hold the 100 or so folks that usually go indoors!

Would you like to walk around all day carrying one? Torrential downpours also doesn't sound good for that pursuit. And the naked cowboy won't be out in Times Square in the rain! :(

Saturday is going to be the worst. They are saying several inches of rain out this way. Can't you just go into town later and just catch the show you have tickets for? Or spend the day in one of the museums.

I'm going with 9 other people; majority rules. Originally I wanted to go early and make the most of the $20 RT ticket for the train because money is tight and I don't go to NYC often. Now... not so much. But they rule. I think we're going to spend some time at the American Museum of Natural History or the Met before our show at 6PM. Still... sucks to be in the city on a crappy, rainy day.

Bummer dude. Bring your poncho ...

Do they ever cancel these things? It's going to be a tropical storm when it gets here and there are flood warnings and all that.
