Discussion
Hurricane Florence has been downgraded in the overnight hours to "tropical storm" status, but it is still lurking as a serious threat for the US east coast with potential impact during the latter part of next week. In the meantime, the remains of what was once Tropical Storm Gordon will interact with a cool frontal boundary zone in coming days and help to generate significant rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region through the early part of next week. More rainfall like this on top of already well-saturated grounds - and potentially before a big impact by Florence - is not a good thing. The weekend will turn out much, much cooler than recent days as strong high pressure to the north will keep us in an east-to-northeast flow of air.
