this was about 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. yesterday in the area. all it was was one cell that kicked through, and bam, that s what they saw. so definitely a typical thing in florida. pretty hard to believe, but if you live there, you re probably used to it. speaking of severe weather, we now have gill. flossie died, but right behind it, and we didn t even get a break, we have gil out there. i overlaid the two paths here, it looks like it s on pretty much the exact same path that flossie was. that s something we ll be monitoring here, especially as we move forward and it gets closer to that region. and you ll love this, carol. more warm, moist air heading your way into the southeast, which means more rain. there has been an abundant amount of rain the last few months. one to two inches of rain expected again anywhere in those gulf states. it s just soggy at this point.
this spurred a line of severe weather that rolled into the area. it did disappear before it reached a major bridge, but the storms caused minor damage on land. let s take a look at that storm, indra petersons take keeping an eye on it. you buys nailed it, it s pretty common in florida. there you go, john, i ll give you credit. the conditions are moist, they re pretty much ripe to have a water spout churn out. you can tell in the wider look, all it took is one cell quickly to form in that water spout. this is what they found out yesterday evening. want to switch to other severe weather. flossie is just about gone. here s the upside it did not bring as much rain as expected. the geography is different, but we saw anywhere from two to five inches of rain, definitely a lot lower than 10 to 15 inches that they feared. however, fear not over take a look, this is tropical storm
bed. same reaction. same reaction. he was smart trying to get me out of bed not into bed. that poor baby, so cute. good stuff. let s get to indra for the latest in the weather center. you don t look happy at all, the singing or something else? we had flossie and flossie is gone, so quickly we can t get a break and we have gil out there currently seeing steady winds 15 miles per hour. behind it a 60% chance for another storm to form behind that. we re seeing a lot of activity in the pacific. gil what s so interesting we overlaid its projected path over where flossie was and it s pretty much following almost the identical path. it was rare to see activity around hawaii it looks like we re looking at a similar path. it is expected to be stronger in 48 hours gil is expected to be a category one hurricane. definitely something we ll have our eyes on. otherwise looking across the
turn into a hurricane, currently stronger than what flossie managed to be. rain in the southeast as well as rain into the northeast so yes all that dry weather we enjoyed i told you it was leaving. maybe one more day left in new york. we are rolling through that alphabet, flossie, now gil. way too early in the year, too. it s going to turn into a hurricane you got to give it a better name. i m not afraid of flossie and not afraid of gil. challenging gil, nice. i m taking him on. jackman inspired me. coming up on new day check out some incredible video. that man is supposed to be inside, not outside, he is an escaping convict out of a jail in arkansas and that cop needs to work on his sprint, he s going to meet with hue jackson. how could this happen? we ll take you through the details. home prices on the rise, is this the right time to buy? money time with christine romans is coming up. [ male announcer ] these days, a small business can save by sharing.
getting are ready for the next one. i like about him he s not a muscle head, doesn t love to do this, he knows it s important for the role, so he takes it on. impressive. that s why i was so nice to him when i interviewed him. i didn t want him to squeeze my head like a grape. indra petersons has what you need to know before you head out the door this morning. this is a waterspout they saw off the shore of tampa yesterday. hard to believe it s not that atypical. the conditions are so ripe in florida if you look at the radar between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. from yesterday you take one storm and that s how quickly one of these guys develop. more severe weather, flossie is gone but behind it we have gil. wanted to overlay flossie s path and it s literally almost the identical path, something we ll be monitoring because in the next 48 hours it is expected to
