Good morning.
The Carolinas had a record weekend with regard to rainfall. It will take some time for the waters to recede and to clean up all of the damage from Florence. Rainfall totals have exceeded 30" in places and it is still raining in certain parts however it should hopefully finish up today as Florence pulls away quickly to the NE. We may be able to get storm totals by tomorrow.
Peak winds occurred over the Outer Banks with highest winds recorded on land being sustained of 83 mph and a peak gust of 106 at Cape Lookout, NC.
Elsewhere in the tropics Isaac dissipated as expected. The NHC is currently giving it a 10% chance of regeneration over the next 5 days. Saharan dust has re-established itself over the tropical Atlantic, (see below). The first wave in over a week should emerge off the coast tomorrow however it appears to be north of the "Sweet Spot" and will be running into a lot of dry air. We'll see but its prospects of making it to the US are low.
Overall we look ok for now,
Matt.
