There's a pretty robust tropical wave that's been drifting now, moving slowly away from some of these areas.
00:05
But there has been some flash flooding out there tied to some of this.
00:08
Here you can see the current radar with a lot of action off to the west and to the south.
00:12
And when we take a look at some recent reports, there have been reports of some street flooding.
00:16
You can see Cuibrada Margarita was out of its banks, flowing completely over nearby streets there.
00:23
USGS River Sensor reported that they were dealing with multiple foot rise there, continuing.
00:29
And also off to the west, some flooding with some other issues.
00:33
Flooded lanes on one road, at least a few roads out into western parts of Puerto Rico.
00:39
Big picture, here's the satellite loop.
00:41
And you can see that we are dealing with, again, kind of the axis of deeper convection moving west, approaching Punta Cana there.
00:48
But to the south of Puerto Rico and southeast of there, a tropical wave continues to roam that way.
00:53
And also near the area of western Cuba.
00:55
We have a tropical rainstorm near the Texas-Louisiana coast.
00:58
Also an area of low pressure up off the Georgia coast, too.
01:01
So a lot of different features on the map are things that we can track at this point as the Atlantic becomes more active.
01:06
Beyond those, though, there's a robust tropical wave entering the eastern Caribbean.
01:11
Another one a few hundred miles west of Africa.
01:14
The water is plenty warm out here.
01:17
And that has not at any point been much of a limiting factor.
01:20
But at times we've had too much shear.
01:22
Shades of pastel here.
01:24
You can see not much wind shear.
01:26
So there's very little to keep us in check.
01:28
We do expect to see some additional development, especially from the tropical wave entering the Caribbean.
01:33
And another one out over the Atlantic in the days to come.
01:36
We've got to keep an eye on both of these here.
01:38
Persistent downpours.
01:39
Most likely the storm off the Georgia coast will stay disorganized.
