So as we zoom out to take a look at the rest of the Gulf Coast what's happening right now is we
00:03
have this tropical rainstorm right here off the Gulf Coast and what that does is that creates an
00:08
area of low pressure and what that does is that has what we call counterclockwise spin so you can
00:14
slowly look if you look at the the motion of those showers and storms just now coming on shore you
00:20
can see that they are rotating in a counterclockwise motion and what that's doing is whenever that
00:26
happens and these things are moving like this they move very slow so whenever you get this
00:31
heavy rainfall right now moving that slow that's whenever you can slowly start to see the rainfall
00:36
totals just increase increase increase and that's exactly what's going to happen here as we head
00:41
into this afternoon and as we head into this evening the other area I want to take a closer
00:45
look at here is going to be parts of Wyoming and Colorado this is going to be across the
00:51
it's going to be across the Rockies and earlier there were some severe thunderstorm warnings
00:55
ongoing but as of right now all those severe thunderstorm warnings have been allowed to expire
00:59
which is good but there will still be a few strong thunderstorms passing from time to time you can
01:04
see a lot of lightning right there passing just to the northeast of Denver but from Cheyenne down
01:08
through Fort Collins there's this little band right there of showers moving in some lightning
01:12
associated with those so you will hear those rumbles of thunder before the strong rainfall
01:17
and the heavy rainfall pushes its way in so we will be watching these areas very closely but
01:21
it's primarily going to be this area of low pressure off the gulf coast that's what's going
01:25
to bring our biggest chance of showers and storms as we hit throughout the next couple of days
01:29
and that tropical rainstorm is going to bring drenching thunderstorms here across the southeast
01:34
and the gulf coast over the next couple of days and then that area of low pressure is going to
01:38
slowly work its way on shore that's going to bring some heavy heavy rainfall look at these
01:43
rainfall projections as we head throughout the next couple of days widespread heavy flooding
01:47
rainfall across parts of Louisiana but it's going to be primarily the Florida panhandle parts of
01:53
Alabama parts of Georgia where we're going to see the heaviest rainfall some of this could be
01:58
very dangerous here as we head throughout the next couple of days Jeff absolutely and that
02:02
flood concern is going to be with us right through the end of the week as we travel farther east.
