00:00Where we had that heavy rain just last week from Debbie were tracking
00:05thunderstorms in and around those areas now. Areas like Wilmington, North
00:09Carolina seeing some strong storms and we've even had some flash flooding
00:12issues across parts of North Carolina especially across extreme southeastern
00:18North Carolina. Though down along the coast we're still concerned about spotty
00:22thunderstorms here over the next few days and even further south it's still
00:26hot. We were just talking about areas like Dallas, Houston. It's actually where
00:32the real field temperatures where we don't have the storms are going to be
00:35soaring past 100 degrees upwards to 115 where you see that darkest red that does
00:42that includes Houston and New Orleans and also Central Florida, Orlando, the
00:47Peninsula. It's going to be hot even across the Panhandle and anywhere there
00:51along that I-10 corridor you can say it's going to be a little gross outside
00:55you're going to be sweating it out. Though further north unfortunately we're
00:58not quite done with the thunderstorm threat across these areas that were just
01:02hounded there by Debbie with some of these slow-moving thunderstorms and some
01:07of them even starting to gel together or maybe live a little too long and
01:12unfortunately the longer they are and if they pop up over an already pretty
01:17roughed up area when it comes to the flooding and the grounds already so
01:21saturated we're tracking some slowdowns here when it comes to Debbie recovery
01:26efforts potentially and also on top of the rain we're also tracking some gusty
01:30winds as well. We're watching some rivers a lot of rivers here in that major flood
01:37stage. This is for Edisto River and unfortunately we are continuing to
01:42attract that major flood stage until the end of the week where we do start to
01:48come down but it's not a fast drop it's a steady drop so we're still concerned
01:52about flooding here over the next few days. You can see why where a lot of the
01:56thunderstorms do choose to fire off that is right around that zone where we have
02:00that solid out frontal boundary though as we head into the middle half of the
02:04week you'll start to see some of those storms still erupting there during the
02:08peak afternoon though something we have to keep a close eye out on as we head
02:11into the later half of the week is Ernesto.
