After wreaking havoc through the central portion of the
nation, a slow moving system is heading to the mid Atlantic with the promise of
very similar weather.
Blinding downpours that in many cases may be accompanied by flash
flooding are expected to extend from parts of Kentucky and Tennessee into Virginia
and the Carolinas through Tuesday. Those traveling in or around these areas are
advised to pack plenty of patience as the morning commute can prove to be a tricky
and hazardous one as the downpours can lead to reduced visibility as well as
dangerous driving conditions.
This system, which has already dumped over 5 inches of rain
over parts of the Midwest, is expected to dump a couple of more as it moves
into Tennessee and Kentucky bringing an increased risk of flooding to both
areas. Along with the flash flooding, disruptions to outdoor activities and air
travel delays will be possible at least through Wednesday.
Tropics:
With the exception of 2 weak and very disorganized systems
very far out in the Atlantic, things remain relatively quiet in the tropics. Currently,
neither of these systems has a high chance for further development but they
will continue to be monitored as they both track west-northwest.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
