ATER AS IRMA PASSED
THROUGH.
rtAND NOW WE ARE SEEING MORE AND
MORE OF THAT FLOODING AS THE
DRONES GO UP.
ANTOINETTE: NOT JUST IN THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE, BUT
UP BY JACKSONVILLE AS WELL.
CINDY:rt THE STORM IS MOVING
NORTHWARD.
IT WAS YESTERDAY AFTER 9 A.M.
THAT IT MADE ITS FIRST LANDFALL
IN THE KEYS CATEGORY 4rt AND THEN
UP TO MARCO ISLAND.
THEN IT REMAINED ON LAND AND
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE SEEN THE
WEAKENING PROCESS ALL DAY LONG.
IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT NOW.
rt LOOK AT THE FUJIAN.
THE EYEWALL PRODUCING WIND GUSTS
IN NAPLES 142 MILES PER HOUR.
MARCO ISLAND HAD GUSTS OF UP TO
13rt0.
THE KEYS THERE.
KEEP IN MIND, 100 MILES EAST IN
MIAMI, WE ALSO HADrt WIND GUSTS
EITHER SIDE OF 100 MILES PER
HOUR.
JUST AN INCREDIBLE STORM IN
RESPECT OF OUR MASSIVE IT IS IN
SIZE.
STILL GETTING THESE GUSTS, NO
rtLONG HURRICANE FORCE, BUT
TROPICAL STORM FORCE.
YOU SEE HOW WIDESPREAD THEY ARE.
TH ARErt 415 MILES OUT FROM THE
CENTER OF THIS THING.
THAT FEED IN OFF THE OCEAN HAS
PRODUCED A LOT OF FLOODING IN
THE JACKSONVILLE AREA.
rtYOU CAN SEE THERE ARE STILL
TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS FOR BOTH
COASTS OF FLORIDA EXTENDING INTO
SOUTH CAROLINA.
rtTHIS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN
MOVING OUT OF FLORIDA INTO
GEORGIA AS A TROPICAL STORM IN
THE EVENING HOURS AND THEN IT
WILL BECOME A DEPRESSION AND
EVENTUALLY, A REMNANTrt LOW.
YOU CAN SEE THIS DEPICTED IN THE
YELLOW, THOSE TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WINDS.
THOSErt A EXTENDING INTO
TENNESSEE AND WEST VIRGINIA AND
NORTH CAROLINA.
rtRAINFALL HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS.
YOU SEE THE RAINFALL TOTALS
CLOSING IN ON 16 INCHES NEAR
FORT PIERCE.
ABOUT A FOOT FROM FORT MYERSrt TO
NAPLES.
ABOUT 10 INCHES IN ORLANDO.
THE BULK OF THE RAIN SHIFTING
OUT OF FLORIDA.
IT'S MOVING INTO GEORGIA, SOUTH
rtCAROLINA, AND WE ARE GETTING
THESE BANDS OUT OF THE OCEAN
THAT ARE STILL TORNADIC.
WE HAVE A WARNING IN EFFECT
UNTIL 12:30,rt AND WE MAY CONTINUE
TO SEE THIS.
TREMENDOUS RAIN BANDS PRODUCING
RAINFALL AMOUNTSrt OF FOUR OR FIVE
INCHES.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT FLOODING AND PARTS OF
GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA AS WE
GET INTO THErt AFTERNOON.
IRMA, NOT THE ONLY STORM WE ARE
WATCHING.
WE ALSO HAVE POSE A.
rt JOSE. RIGHT NOW,
DRIFTING AWAY FROM THE TURKS AND
THE CAKE GOES.
IT WILL LOOP AROUND FOR THE NEXT
FIVE DAYrtS.
BEYOND THAT, OUR COMPUTER MODELS
SHIPPED THIS CLOSER TO THE
EASTERN SEABOARD IN THE NEXT
SEVEN TO 10 DAYS.
WE WILL KEEP YOUrt POSTED, BUT FOR
NOW IT IS NO IMMEDIATE THREAT.
WHAT WE DO HAVE, BLUE SKY WITH A
LITTLE SMOKY HAZE.

WEST-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.
I HAVE WIDENED OUT THE VIEW AND
SHOW YOU THE IMAGERY HERE ANDrt
SOME OF THE SMOKE HAS BEEN
DRIVEN ALL THE WAY ON THE UPPER
LEVEL STEERING WINDS INTO NEW
ENGLAND.
AT THE SURFACE WE HAVE HIGH
PRESSURE IN THAT WILL TRY TO
GIVErt US MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

THE MID 60'S IN THE WORCESTER
HILLS.

WE WILL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES,
CLOSE TO 80 THIS AFTERNOON.
