welcome back. i m rob marciano. we have fire threat both on the east and west coasts today. in between we have flood threat with the remains of tropical depression hermine. look at the numbers. they continue to add up. austin, ten inches of rain. ft. hood, texas, saw over eight. it is still raining now up and down the i-35 corridor from san antonio to austin. right up through dallas and across the red river. some of the rain cells will be producing heavy rain. so much so no only do we have flash flood watches but flash flood warnings. that s red highlighted counties. dangerous situation shaping up and continues across central texas. feast or famine for san antonio as far as getting rain or no rain during the summer months. not a lot of rain expected moving through the northeast. this will produce relative
the coast of africa. here are the cape verde islands. this is heading towards the west. obviously, we have a long time to watch this thing propagate across the atlantic. we hope it becomes a fish storm. at this point, there s no promise of that happening. what the national hurricane center thinks is going to happen is that it develops into a hurricane fairly quickly, maybe as much as a category 2 status as it gets halfway across the atlantic. 40-mile-an-hour winds, minimal tropical storm way out there, but nonetheless, a reminder of how active the season has been after a relatively slow start. this what s left over of tropical storm hermine. it s not moving as quickly to the north as we would like. unfortunately, it s streaming in moisture from the gulf of mexico. we see thunderstorms develop along the i-35 corridor and
we ends up with these water rescues. i want to point something out here. remember back in may we had rain across much of texas and oklahoma. we broke all kinds of records for the area. before that there had been kind of a four-year drought going and all of that rain pretty much busted the drought here. after that rain event in may, they haven t really had much rain at all. again, across texas and the drought has come back. a lot of this exceptional, the highest category. now fast forward again and now we re getting all of this rain at one time. so we had flooding and then drought and then flooding again. it would be great if we could get like a consistent, nice rain. but that s not been the case. some of the heaviest has been here to the southeast of dallas. but then down across i-35 corridor and through san antonio, now across the coastal areas here, but once this is gone here, it s done for you. so we re almost done in dallas. we re almost done in austin. then we re going to start to
but a few hail-producing storms, one along the i-35 corridor. closer up towards the northern texas border. something to keep in mind there. of course, had to mention tropical depression beryl, still talking about a 30-mile-per-hour storm, as it that moves off towards the north-northeast, it s starting to accelerate a little bit. you see some of the heavier showers pushing into eastern portions of north carolina. still the i-95 corridor, messy travelwise through eastern north carolina. a quick look at the track. the system, latest update just came in, that was 35 miles per hour now. notice by tomorrow afternoon or later this afternoon into tomorrow, we ll be talking about a tropical storm off the outer banks of north carolina and that bears watching for many coastal residents. coming up, wall street likes the idea of greece staying put. how low will facebook go? and has space research yielded a new fountain of youth? spurs put on a clinic, the texas rangers sign an ace and
what kind of a device given all of your experience would you give to the people of joplin given what may happen in the next few hours? i think tonight looking at the weather pattern i was out this afternoon chasing northern oklahoma, there s a stationary front and what we call overlay, a lot of storms and hail and wind which will continue through the evening hours and then the bigger concern is going to be tomorrow. tomorrow we have a large area from northern kansas along i-35 corridor including cities like wichita, kansas, down to oklahoma city, down to dallas, over to shreveport, little rock, joplin, kansas city, we expect a significant wide scale tornado outbreak with very long track and damaging tornadoes so tomorrow they have to be extremely on guard because computer models show there could be significant tornadoes.
