Tropical Energy to Bring Heavy Showers & Thunderstorms to Tennessee & North Carolina
11/4/24 9:33am ET
Good morning everyone. We have one more near-seasonable day in the Northeast before mild air rushes in ahead of a powerful storms system in the Midwest. 50’s and 60’s today under some clouds, will be replaced with 60’s and 70’s tomorrow. By Wednesday, some areas along the coastal plain could see some 80 degree readings before we begin to cool off a little bit.
Even with the cooldown, we’re still in the 60’s and dry. The best chance to see some rain in the Northeast will be later in the weekend as the remnants of a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico heads into the Gulf Coast and up the Appalachians. This will prove to be a problem for areas in Tennessee and North Carolina ravaged by flooding. While we won’t see that level of rain, it will further complicate recovery and cleanup efforts.
We could see that tropical energy brush the Florida Keys and western Florida before heading ashore in a weakened state somewhere between Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Look for local marine hazards, gusty heavy rain, and a possible severe weather component to this typical to a landfalling tropical system.
