The first rainstorm in a while will move in from the west Thursday evening. It will provide the region with downpours and some gusty thunderstorms as well. However, it is a fast mover so it will all be over by Friday morning. So, great weather will move in for the weekend. It now appears that Igor will pass very close to the island of Bermuda on Sunday as a major Hurricane, before turning NE and out to sea.
