Tropical Storm Andrea will make landfall in Florida late today, then continue north and east up the East Coast. Andrea will pass well east of NCWV during the day tomorrow, keeping most of the effects from the storm east of the Appalachians. We will see some rain today as a front slowly moves through and then again tomorrow as we'll be on the fringe of the rains from Andrea and that front will still be close enough to touch off some showers and storms through tomorrow. Conditions will slowly improve as the storm pulls away Saturday, with a few showers in the morning transitioning to a drier afternoon with skies becoming partly cloudy. In the meantime, here is what to expect today and tomorrow thanks to the front and what will be left of Andrea as it moves up the coast.
- 1 or 2 stronger thunderstorms are possible later this afternoon as the front moves in, but this threat is low.
- Winds with a few of these storms could briefly gust to 40 or 50 mph.
The other threat we'll be watching the next few days is flooding.
- Overall, the threat for flooding is low.
- It has been dry recently and the ground in most cases should be able to hand the 1-2 inches of total rainfall expected through late Friday.
- Any areas that see a lot of rain in a short period of time will need to be watched closely for flooding concerns.
