00:00And we're also dealing with a ground stop, by the way, at the airport in Tampa where it's hot and humid,

00:05but scattered drenching thunderstorms are just parked over the Tampa metro.

00:10But we're also dealing with some showers around an area that saw some flash flooding last night into parts of southern North Carolina.

00:16We're also tracking some strong storms into the New Orleans area.

00:18But here we have a one-hour loop.

00:20We'll take a quick, very abbreviated radar tour and take you into some flash flooding up in northern Georgia, up into the high ground.

00:27And recent storms have kind of pushed a little farther west, near Dalton, Georgia, the southeastern fringe of the community of Dalton, Georgia,

00:33along Interstate 75, heavy thunderstorm on the map.

00:36Then also into areas around Mandeville there, north of the causeway there on the north side of Lake Pontchartrain,

00:42we had a recent severe storm, and that's no longer as intense.

00:45But along the lakefront there on the north side of New Orleans on Lake Pontchartrain, on the south shore,

00:51drenching thunderstorms developing.

00:53We have a severe cell moving into Gonzales, so parts of Interstate 12 and I-10 being affected by some severe weather here into Louisiana as well.

01:02Right now, temps stay very low.

01:04We're only at 71 in Charlotte.

01:05Very cool there.

01:0678 into Tampa due to the recent storms.

01:08But if you step west of the footprint of the rain and the thunderstorms and that onshore breeze,

01:13it gets hot out to the west of the Mississippi River.

01:16We are tracking this area of low pressure here.

01:17It's disorganized, very disorganized.

01:19But it will be on the move here as there is a fork in the road with the steering flow.

01:23And this is taking the northern direction here, moving northeast offshore, staying off the Carolina coast this weekend.

01:30It may organize.

01:31And then the disturbance that follows that actually takes the southern route,

01:34and it's going to be drifting into the gulf and just stagnating, kind of marinating there for the better part of next week.

01:41So there's a chance, a limited chance, for development here near the northern side of the gulf.

01:46So a medium chance for a disturbance racing northeast over the course of the weekend.

01:51There it is.

01:51This will just sideswipe the outer banks and parts of the coastal plain of North Carolina with some additional rain.

01:57We've been very wet this week.

01:58Additional heavy rain, showers, and thunderstorms for some.

02:01Whether you're near that system or down into the gulf, there's plenty of moisture around.

02:05Temperatures still struggling.

02:0612 below average there in Virginia Beach, 8 degrees below the historical average in Charlotte.
