this is a good one but they need more. it s a good soaking. the entire state is under a drought. the entire state 100% of it, and over a quarter exceptional drought. now you see exactly where the rain is, the entire state. we ll tell you, this rain is going to make its way into arizona, snow across the rockies, that s all good as well. but we have this one big heavy band move through downtown l.a. adam was saying he has the break. there s the next band moving through. more heavy rain, ve already seen two inches and more on the way. there are strong winds and the possibility of a tornado popping up pretty quickly there think about that. all of the people in the big cities from santa barbara, to the south, will look for that threat. we ll see more mudslide problems. this is additional precip. the red, another three to five plus inches.
being optimistic and two feet of no in the mountains of west virginia, this is in the mountainous regions. even north carolina half a foot of snow. and this storm is not done yet. we ll watch it over the next day or so linger along the coast. philadelphia, new york, a few band move in, mostly rain across western long island, but eastern long island could see several inches. and then west of boston, parts of connecticut you could get several inches piling up within the next 12 to 24 hours. this storm is going to linger along the coast and as jenna mentioned, the fact that we are going to see these waives and coastal erosion in areas that were really battered by sandy, all those natural barriers in some cases are gone, so the coastal flooding, the beach erosion will continue. rain mixing with snow heavy at times. today, tomorrow and then lit move offshore. you see this thing poking here that is the next storm system
have prepared and shutdown some of the schools and some of the offices in preparation for the potential for what remains from irma. now let s talk about what s happened in dade county. we had one strong band of storms move through. now we have another one. still probably another 45 minutes to an hour before we see this first little out lying band move across south dade county. already about 10,000 people without power in dade county. this was from an outer band. we are not looking at the hurricane across the peninsula of florida. so here it is through the florida strait as we look at the future radar. sunday morning across the florida keys, perhaps is a category five. maybe a category four. it is still a major hurricane. then moving on in in the vicinity of naples, florida.
