Forecasters are still hoping Hurricane "Edouard" will stay away from land
altogether -- but there's a 50 percent chance Long Island or Cape Cod will be
hit.
There is some good news: Winds are down to 115 miles-per-hour and could drop
MORE before landfall.
Stormwatchers estimate that the hurricane should weaken within the next 24
hours.
However, Edouard has been pounding the coast.
Manuel Gallegus has more from North Carolina.

(( People on the outer banks can now get down to the business of enjoying

the full moon may keep them out of the water. Even though there never was a
real panic here for Hurricane Edouard...it did pose a threat as it loomed out
at sea...but people who live in this area are used to hurricane warnings:
YOU JUST GO ON WITH YOUR
LIFE..."
I'M OLD ENOUGH NOT TO BE SCARED ANY
MORE...
Although there is no way to predict the exact path of Hurricane
Edouard...it now appears the potentially dangerous storm will impact southern
new england starting sunday night. So now the threat shifts to places like
atlantic city, new jersey....long island, new york and cape cod
massachutsetts. but saturday afternoon looked like just another day at the

As you can see, the hurricane is still quite a presence in the Atlantic
tonight-- it's about 450 miles south-southeast of Long Island, New YOrk.
What is somewhat encouraging is that Edouard is showing some signs of
weakening as it moves into cooler waters.
Heavy surf advisories are still in effect for the Mid- Atlantic coast.
Edouard is NOT as well organized as it once was.
But while it continues moving northward-- a westward turn is not out of
