Weather
Hurricane Erin continues to make its closest pass to the East Coast on Thursday, brushing the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but being pushed out to sea later Thursday. A strong cold front is moving into the Northern Plains. In addition to scattered showers moving through the area, a burst of colder air will build in behind the front as well, sweeping through the majority of the country through the weekend.
