going to be dealing with this into tuesday and remnant low and sits and spins across the tennessee river valley. there is the radar right now. you can see the core of the strongest winds right here. then we also have the offshore flow. so tampa you are still going to get the potential for heavy rain and that storm surge moving. in it won t be the incredible storm surge amounts that we were predicting yesterday. but, still, very vulnerable coast line and the potential for, you know, water levels to rise. future radar shows this storm system moving north and westward into atlanta, georgia for the first time in history, atlanta georgia is under a tropical storm warning. that s incredible. we could see the potential for hurricane force winds moving into parts of georgia and the carolinas. there are your rainfall totals. obviously this is not a harvey story like we saw in houston. but still incredible rainfall totals of over a foot of rain. the potential for upwards of 4 to 6 inches. so fla
janice dean is following it all from the fox weather center. it is not a storm, it is a trough of low pressure. to the uneducated, that sounds like an afternoon thunderstorm. well, not quite, leland. it s still got a lot of tropical moisture associated with it and the potential for heavy rain, certainly mud slides as it gets into the higher terrain. the dominican republic and cuba. but right now it has been downgraded to an area of low pressure. so we re still going to monitor it because what remains of erika could regenerate but right now we re just going to see some heavy rainfall across florida, parts of the southeast and the gulf coast. there s our remnant low. very disorganized which is, of course, great news. 48 hours ago we were thinking this could be a hurricane. so there is what we are dealing with. that s the satellite radar imagery, what s left of erika and moisture streaming into florida as well as the southeast and gulf of mexico.
storm. but again, continues will deteriorate this evening. where does the storm go after that? it s expected to make landfall at 100 miles per hour but quickly moves off to the northeast, staying south of the northeast, but if you look at the far western portion of the track we could see those impacts towards cape cod on the evening of the fourth of july. it still makes its way to halifax, hits colder waters so-called a remnant low, deteriorates over halifax. so much to be concerned with with things expected to change as each model run intensifies the system. we know as you mentioned the rip currents are a concern, both before, during and after, but what else are we looking at here that s a concern, flash flooding? what else? such a good point you brought that up, because we ve been through this before here at least in the outer banks back in 2011 with irene. you talked about a very strong storm surge there. you are talking about still in this event four to six feet of storm surge.
that s john couwels on the phone. now to the developing weather situation overnight. what was tropical storm flossie has been battering hawaii with rain, wind and lightning and may take some time before the islands are in the clear. indra petersons is tracking it for us. downgraded to a depression and in the next 36 hours it will become a remnant low. 35 miles per hour in winds. weakened significantly before coming onshore. about the next 72 hours we expect it to be a remnant low. notice the track here. definitely kind of moving in that west-northwesterly direction. the other thing unbelievable last night if you were around central kansas and missouri look at the heavy rain, 6.97 inches. it s very slow-moving system drenching the area with heavy rain and continues to move to the east looking for another two to four inches in the mississippi valley. a lot of things going on.
was tropical storm lee. just a tropical storm, a remnant low bringing incredible rainfall totals close to a foot in parts of upstate new york, maryland, new jersey and vermont. really unprecedented. in some cases we re dealing with a 100-year flood. so there is the satellite radar imagery. again still getting incredible rainfall amounts already saturated ground central pennsylvania, new york, scranton, allentown, harrisburg, areas that seen inches of rain in short period of time, getting more on top of that flood advisories for all the regions in the mid-atlantic in new england. maroon has flash flood warnings meaning flooding is i am nenlt, it is happening. this will continue through today and tomorrow. the tropics very active, jenna. we have hurricane caught at this yaw. fortunately not going to take landfall across the
