Parts of Florida experienced minor flooding on Sept. 8, and storms are set to continue this week.
Transcript
00:00Relatively small-scale flash flood warning. The Weather Service got specific, about five miles from one end of that to the other.
00:06And that is set to run out and expire in 13 minutes.
00:09But to the north, we've seen this perpetual slow-moving thunderstorm along parts of Alligator Alley and up into areas around Boca Raton and Boynton Beach.
00:17We've had locally heavy rain. The worst of that's beginning to decrease a little bit.
00:21But I did want to point out a couple of these flash flood reports.
00:24Here we have Liberty City train spotter reporting some street flooding. Relatively minor street flooding in some areas between Northwest 36th and Northwest 37th Street, 22nd Avenue.
00:34And then also we have another report of an off-duty National Weather Service employee with a parking lot flooded there in an area three miles northwest of North Myrtle Beach.
00:44There's also a similar report here up into the Orlando Metro in Wakeeva Springs.
00:49Emergency management reporting two cars stalled with water halfway up to the tire.
00:53So it must have been sedans, I suspect, near Wakeeva Springs Road.
00:58And additional flooding has been reported near Douglas Avenue, too.
01:00So we've had some issues here in pockets of Florida, and it has been impactful.
01:04But outside of that area, we're looking really good for the rest of the southeast.
01:07And, again, we're going to avoid big trouble in most areas north of I-10.
01:11Current temperatures, we are dealing with that cool air mass in the mid-Atlantic.
01:15Look at Norfolk at only 72.
01:17There's a stiff onshore breeze there.
01:18We are at 90, where we've been avoiding the rain, into Panama City.
01:23So some of you are a little warmer than others.
01:25But that little sliver of extreme drought is something that this rain is actually chipping away at south of West Palm Beach and north of Miami.
01:33So there's still going to be additional heavy rain off and on over the next few days with that nearly stationary zone of low pressure over the northeastern Gulf.
01:41Travel disruptions.
01:42You'll notice that's the only show in town here for the southeast.
01:45The rest of us are pleasant.
01:46There will be some dangers along the coastline with rip currents.
01:49But temperatures, nine below the historical average at Virginia Beach.
01:53About seven below average into Charlotte.
01:55Atlanta, four below the norm.
01:56This is great weather if you like comfortable attempts.
01:59Ten below average there into Jacksonville.
02:02So not a bad deal.
02:03But if we head west, it's a little bit closer to what we would expect this time of the year.
02:07And Anna, there are times when the northeast is dealing with some pretty nippy weather as well.
02:12Yeah, we've seen temperatures decreasing.
02:15We're getting closer to fall.
02:17And it certainly feels like it in the northeast.
02:19I mean, it has for a bit here.
02:20Overall, the three big things to know for the week in the northeast specifically, well, those temperatures, it's leading to frost potential for some of us.
