Storms and showers continue in the Southeast

Even after days of rain, thunderstorms aren't over yet in the Southeast.

00:00Some of the worst of the storms have been into parts of eastern North Carolina.

00:04And we had flash flooding earlier in Raleigh, North Carolina.

00:07Now you can see this band, this is a trough, this is actually in advance of the front,

00:12across eastern North Carolina with some very heavy rain for some,

00:16and also down into south Georgia.

00:18We're dealing with more where that came from.

00:20And then to the west you can see we've been wet in Houston,

00:23not as much flooding today, but there are some areas with flood watches still in effect,

00:28including the Houston metro.

00:30There are some areas of river flooding that we've inherited from recent rainfall.

00:33I'm going to take the map all the way up into the Carolinas here

00:35because we also have flood watches in effect.

00:38The flash flood warning is over for Raleigh, but it continues under a watch.

00:42And eastern South Carolina, even areas like Savannah, Georgia, are under that flood watch as well.

00:48With the rain, we've been held down by temperatures stuck in the mid-70s here in Houston, 76 there.

00:54But we're up to 98 in El Paso.

00:56We briefly spiked at 99 a little bit ago.

00:58We're going to have more downpours and thunderstorms across the south over the next few days,

01:03and maybe even a few more water spouts like that photogenic one in Panama City Beach there in Florida.

01:11So Friday's forecast is stormy for a lot of us.

01:13Some of the more frequent downpours are going to be into the central Gulf Coast,

01:17and as we look specifically into the area around Louisiana and east Texas,

01:21each of these locations from New Orleans to Beaumont and Port Arthur,

01:24north to Alexandria, will be below average because of all the clouds

01:28and the downpours keeping temperatures down.

01:30But there will be thunderstorms in each of these areas most likely on Friday.

01:35And you can see as this plays out this evening, they come down to a minimum.

01:38But here's some widespread activity there in the central Gulf Coast on Friday night and into Friday evening as well.

01:44Saturday, we're going to see some more where that came from there.

01:46And the less active weather is going to begin to build into parts of the Carolinas

01:52after we move through the next day or two.

01:54There are five-day totals here from Tuesday and Wednesday behind us,

01:57plus today, plus tomorrow and Saturday.

01:59Some of you are ending up with four or more inches of rain.

02:03But you can see drier weather returns to the Carolinas by Sunday.
