Good evening,
An influx of moisture brought heavy rain and flooding to portions of central Florida earlier this week and next on the list for local floods and gusty storms will be the Missouri Valley and the Mid-Atlantic area as a storm system makes its way across the region.
Rain gear will be put to good use from Knoxville into parts of the Virginia's on Thursday with heavy downpours capable of producing flash flooding and winds in excess of 60mph that may lead to travel delays as well as the downed trees and power lines that may leave hundreds of thousands without power. The heaviest of rain along with the highest threat of flooding will mostly concentrate in the South, however, the system will spread across the nation's capital and the city of brotherly love by Thursday evening and linger into Friday.
By Friday afternoon, the system will have moved out of the Mid-Atlantic area taking a turn further north bringing rough surf to the Atlantic beaches and possibly spoiling outdoor plans for those throughout New England.
Tropical Storm Guillermo will travel very close to the Hawaiian Island Thursday evening as it continues to weaken on its track north into the colder waters of the Pacific. Despite the islands will not be experiencing a direct hit from the storm, soaking showers and damaging winds will still be present with flash flooding and strong rip currents being the main threats to those living or traveling to these areas.
As we approach the weekend, Guillermo will move further away from Hawaii allowing for a more typical weather pattern, however, another area of low pressure may become the next tropical system of the eastern Pacific possibly affecting the Hawaiian Islands by the end of the following work week.
A safe week to all!
