Hurricane Joaquin has strengthened to a Category 3 storm and remains elusive as to whether its on track to make landfall on the East Coast or turn and head out to sea.  Under any scenario, much of the Coast and inland will most likely see rain and lots of it over the course of the weekend according to the National Hurricane Center.

Joaquin has sustained winds of 115 miles per hour and could upgrade to a Category 4 over the next day. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has already declared a state of emergency to deal with flooding this week.
