Already some heavy rain falling
00:01
across the Sunshine State in the
00:03
last 24 hours we've got nearly
00:05
half an inch already in Tampa,
00:07
West Palm Beach and nearly 3/4
00:09
of an inch in Miami and this is
00:11
just the beginning.
00:12
You know many spots across South Florida.
00:14
Locally speaking,
00:15
multiple inches of rain in just a 24 hour span.
00:18
Here's the reason why it's an upper level.
00:21
Low this big storm system here.
00:22
You can see it cruising through the Gulf.
00:25
See that swirl right there just
00:27
South of let's say Mobile.
00:28
For example, that's where that
00:30
center of low pressure is,
00:32
but it's driving moisture all the
00:33
way back across Florida and rounds
00:35
of rain are a concern for the
00:38
Sunshine State today and tomorrow.
00:39
As well, this storm continues on
00:41
tour Florida and we just keep
00:43
seeing those rounds of rain and
00:45
flooding is a big concern with
00:47
just how much rain there is.
00:49
Now look, we're talking about a
00:51
state that generally does see a
00:53
lot of rain in a year.
00:54
Some areas more than 100 inches
00:56
of rain in a given year,
00:58
you know it's too much of a good thing,
01:00
right?
01:00
It's too much rainfall all at once,
01:02
especially let me point your
01:04
attention towards South Florida.
01:05
That's where I do think we have that
01:07
possibility really the highest possibility
01:08
of flooding even flash flooding possible.
01:10
Look around Miami where we could
01:12
see 8 to 12 inches of rainfall
01:13
through the day on Thursday.
01:15
What am I saying here?
01:16
Well, if you live in Florida,
01:18
especially South Florida,
01:19
please be careful,
01:20
especially heading out on the roads
01:21
where we could not just see some
01:23
ponding on the roadways but flooding
01:25
and flash flooding as well.
01:26
Now let's follow this storm here.
01:27
It's essentially going to take a
01:29
little boomerang action and cruise
01:30
back up the eastern seaboard,
01:32
but we get a little bit of a
01:34
saving grace if you will.
01:35
It's a good news.
01:36
Bad news situation.
01:37
Now this storm could take a little
01:39
bit of a turn and head back toward
01:41
New England, but that's not going
01:42
to happen because there's a front
01:44
moving through the Northeast on Friday.
01:45
That front is going to help
01:47
nudge our storm out to sea,
01:48
and while yes,
01:49
it is going to be wet in the Northeast
01:51
Friday from the front and then
01:53
Saturday from the combo of the
01:54
front and our coastal storm.
01:56
The brunt of the rain is really
01:58
back through New England,
01:59
especially 95 on to the east
02:01
right along the coast.
02:02
Aside from that,
02:03
it's a few spotty showers on Saturday.
02:05
Some pockets of heavy rain at times
02:07
looking from the Adirondacks onto the east,
02:09
but it's a heck of a lot better than it
02:12
could be if let's say that front weren't
02:14
there and the storm had the opportunity
02:16
to turn back to the West for example,
02:18
and really look at some heavier
02:19
rain for their inland.
02:20
All things considered,
02:21
is it a perfect weekend?
02:22
No, but is it a total washout?
02:24
No, you can see here in Buffalo
02:26
for example, well,
02:27
interior Northeast looking great
02:28
after the front passes through.
02:29
It's just chilly in the 40s,
02:31
but it's Buffalo in November.
02:32
So you know,
02:33
we're not too surprised by that,
02:34
are we Burlington Boston?
02:36
More in the way of the rainfall,
02:37
especially on Saturday,
02:38
but by Sunday it'll be breezy and cool,
02:40
but it'll clear out pretty effectively.
02:42
New York, Baltimore,
02:43
bit more of the same,
02:44
but more in the way of clouds.
02:46
That actual rainfall as we
02:47
look across your weekend.
