Is this a bad idea?
Our vacation plan was to leave Northern VA around 11 a.m. on Sunday and drive to Hershey, PA. Up I-270 into PA. Is this going to be in the middle of the hurricane?

As of this morning, the rain is supposed to start on Saturday and end on Sunday morning unless the track changes. Sunday is supposed to be nice barring flooding/downed trees or debris/power outages that might have happened from night before.

Tomorrow (Saturday): This is a tricky weekend forecast that depends upon the exact track of Irene. It appears the center of the storm stays east of the bay or even just offshore; however, we still are likely to feel effects around the region. A low risk of morning showers increases as the day wears on, and by late day it could potentially become a steadier bout of storminess (especially east and south). Breezes pick up to 15-25 mph+ by afternoon with higher gusts as highs top out near 80 to the mid-80s.
If the track shifts west more toward D.C., we would have longer bouts of heavier rain and stronger wind over a larger area of our region. And a shift to the east could produce less wind/less rain. We?ll have more on the details later today. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Local effects of the storm may reach their peak as early as the evening or later at night depending on storm speed. Rain is likely over most of the area during this time, with near 100% certainty over eastern sections and perhaps 60-70% way out west. Winds steadily increase from 15-25 mph in the early evening to 20-30 mph prior to midnight. Gusts to 45 or 50 mph are possible when stronger rain bands move through. Lows are even more tropical than recently, in the low-to-mid 70s. Confidence: Low-Medium
Sunday: Winds diminish during the morning while turning from north to northwest. Rain either briefly lingers or is already totally gone during the morning it seems. Remember the subsidence that made us warm ahead of Irene? Highs may again bump up to the mid-80s or higher because of this, and also it helps provide us some nice blue skies. Confidence: Low-Medium
