TUESDAY.
TUESDAY. >> SAY A PRAYER FOR US AND FOR EVERYONE HERE.
>>> RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO GET A
CHECK OF LAWRENCE'S PATH. +@
THIS THING HAS +@BEEN CHANGING
AND DANCING ALL OVER THE MAP.
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT THE
POWERFUL DOPPLER RADAR.
YOU CAN SEE THE STORM STILL
SPINNING OVER THE COAST.
AS BRAD SAID IT HAS NOT MOVED
MUCH OVER THE LAST 12 HOURS.+@
THE REST OF THE CAROLINAS IS
WAITING FOR THIS NOW TROPICAL
STORM TO MOVE IN LAND.
+@
WAITING FOR THIS NOW TROPICAL STORM TO MOVE IN LAND. >>> WE HAVE LIFT TEAM COVERAGE
TO GET YOU READY.
LET'S GO TO BRAD PANOVICH.
>>> YOU CAN SEE THE STORM
SITTING THERE.
IT HAS NOT MOVED MUCH IN 12
HOURS.
MAYBE 50 MILES ACROSS
WILMINGTON.
OR WILMINGTON HAS BEEN GETTING
CLOBBERED FOR HOURS.
YOU CAN SEE THE CIRCULATION
ABOUT TO CROSS INTO SOUTH
CAROLINA.
CLOSER TO HOME WE ARE STARTING
TO SEE BANDS OF SHOWERS.
MOVING THROUGH ERAS OF UNION
COUNTY UP TOWARD STANLEY AND
RICHMOND COUNTY.
THEY ARE BREAKING UP A LITTLE
BIT.
THE HEAVIER RAIN IS TOWARD THE
PD RIVER.
YOU CAN SE+@E THE WARNING.
EXPECTING THE RIVERS TO GO SKY
HIGH.
THIS BAND OF RAIN IS A FIREHOSE
OF MOISTURE.
WHEREVER THIS BAND SETS UP AND
PIVOTS, THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL
SEE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL.
RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW, THE RAIN
STARTS TONIGHT.
IT RAMPS UP BY THE MORNING
HOURS.
NOTICE NEAR 100% CHANCE OF
RAIN.
YOU DO NOT SEE THAT IN THE
FORECAST VERY OFTEN.
ALL THE WAY INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.
IT WILL BE WHINY AT TIMES.
THAT COULD BRING TREES DOWN.
TH+@E RAIN WILL BE A BIG STORY.
YOU SEE THE FLOOD THREAT TO THE
SOUTHEAST TODAY.
THIS IS THE EXTREME THREAT.
LOOK AT TOMORROW.
A BIG AREA INCLUDING CHARLOTTE
IN THE EXTREME THREAT AND A
BIGGER AREA UNDER THE HIGH RISK
FOR FLASH FLOODING.
THEN ON SUNDAY, RIGHT OVER THE
HEART OF THE VIEWING AR+@EA.
WE WILL HAVE BIG-TIME FLOOD
THREATS.
FOR THAT REASON, WE HAVE
SEVERAL WATCHES IN EFFECT RIGHT
NOW AND WARNINGS.
NOT ONLY TROPICAL STORM
WARNINGS BUT FLOOD WATCH IS.
NOW WE WILL SEE THE ADVISORIES.
>> ALL OF THOSE WATCHES OR
WARNINGS HAVE SHIFTED TO
WARNINGS.
THAT EXTENDS THROUGH THE OUTER
BANKS.
AS WE GET CLOSER TO HOME,
ROCKING HIM IS UNDER THE
TROPICAL STORM WARNING.
IT STRETCHES BACK TOWARDS
LANCASTER.
AS WE TALK ABOUT WATCHES AND
WARNINGS, IT IS NOT AS MUCH THE
RAIN BUT THE WIND.
ALREADY WE ARE SEEING GUS OF +@
ABOUT 47 MILES PER HOUR.
37 CONCORDE.
AS WE GET FURTHER AWAY FROM THE
STORM.
THE GUSTS HAVE GONE DOWN INTO
THE 20s.
IT WILL BE BREEZY.
THE WIND WILL NOT BE A HUGE
ISSUE.
IT IS MORE SO THE RAIN.
BECAUSE OF THAT WE DO HAVE
FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR
THE ENTIRE VIEWING AR+@EA.
AS BRAD MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE
FLOOD WARNINGS AS WELL.
WE ARE STARTING TO SEE THE RAIN
MOVE INTO PORTIONS OF THE
VIEWING AREA.
>> THE AMOUNT OF RAIN IS THE
BIG QUESTION.
WE KNOW WE WILL SEE A LOT.
THERE WILL BE LOCALIZED AREAS
THAT GET EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH
AMOUNTS OF RAIN.
80 UPWARD OF ONE FOOT.
A BIG CHUNK OF THE VIEWING AREA
AND ALL OF THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS COULD BE IN THE 6-10
INCH RANGE.
YOU COULD BE SIX INCHES OR
LOWER BUT SOME FOLKS COULD BE
10 INCHES OR HIGHER.
IT IS NOT TOO DIFFERENT THAN
FORECASTING SNOW IN THE WINTER
WHEN WE KNOW SOMEONE WILL GET A
BUNCH OF SNOW BUT THERE WILL BE
A BUNCH OF AREAS THAT GET LESS.
THE PROBLEM IS, UNLIKE HEAVY
SNOW WHICH IS JUST
INCONVENIENT, THIS WILL BE A
DANGEROUS FLASH FLOOD OR RIVER
FLOODING.
LET'S SHOW YOU FUTURE CAST.
WE WILL STARTED AT FIVE+@ M. TH
NORTH WAS WIND WE HAVE FELT
THEM ALL DAY.
SHOWER START TO MOVE THEM
THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING.
+@
AND INTO THE AFTERNOON.
BY TOMORROW NIGHT, WE HAVE
NORTHEAST BREEZES AND HEAVY RAIN
+@
BY TOMORROW NIGHT, WE HAVE NORTHEAST BREEZES AND HEAVY RAIN SETTING UP.
WATCH THIS BAND RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS RIGHT OVER THE HEART OF
THE PIEDMONT THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING.
THEN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING, THAT IS WHEN WE WILL
SEE THE WORST OF THE WEATHER.
+@
MORNING, THAT IS WHEN WE WILL SEE THE WORST OF THE WEATHER. IT COULD LINGER INTO MONDAY.
THAT IS WHEN THE MOUNTAINS
REALLY GET CLOBBERED.
WE ARE AT 10 PM ON SUNDAY
NIGHT.
EVEN INTO MONDAY MORNING, LOOK
AT THE RAIN, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS.
THE AIR WILL BE FLOWING INTO
THE UPPER FACING SLOPES.
ANYWHERE WE CAN STOP THE
SLOPES, WE WILL SEE TREMENDOUS
AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND FLASH
FLOODING.
TO MAKE THE RAIN WILL NOT BE IN
+@
THE MOUNTAINS UNTIL LATER.
THAT IS WHY WE ONLY HAVE A 50%
CHANCE OF RAIN+@.
YOU'RE IN THE PIEDMONT, RAIN
CHANCES RAMP UP.
IT WILL FEEL TROPICAL.
CHECK OUT THE WIND, NORTH
NORTHEAST BETWEEN 23-30 MILES
PER HOUR.
THIS IS WHERE THE RAIN WILL
FALL MOST OF TONIGHT. +@
WET AND WHINY.
I WANT TO SHOW THE SEVEN-DAY
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS AN END IN
SIGHT.
THIS WEEKEND, HEAVY RAIN INTO
MONDAY MORNING.
THEN WE START TO DRY OUT.
THE WEATHER WILL BE GREAT HERE,
THE PROBLEM IS, THESE ARE THE
DAYS THAT THE RIVERS WILL START
TO CREST BECAUS+@E ALL OF THE
RAIN THAT FALLS OVER THE
WEEKEND AND MONDAY HAS TO RUN
OFF.
IT GETS TO THE LAKES AND GOES
INTO THE BIGGER CREEKS AND
STREAMS AND EVENTUALLY THE
RIVERS.
THEN WE WILL SEE RIVER FLOOD
