Hurricane Aaron Impacts

• 🛰️ Spaghetti models show the storm staying offshore, though one outlier model suggests it could come very close to the Outer Banks.
• ⚠️ Tropical storm watches are in effect for Anguilla and Bonire, despite the storm being a hurricane, as hurricane-force winds are limited to about 50 miles from the center.

Next Week's Weather Shift
