Thursday's 8 AM Update on Emily


As of 8AM Tropical Storm Emily is stationary...not at all good news for Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where we are expecting a torrential amount of rainfall in the next 24 hours. Deadly flash flooding and mudslides will be a concern. As the storm moves across mountainous Hispaniola and eastern Cuba, we are expecting the storm to weaken, but as it moves across warm Caribbean water, the storm may re-strengthen. The storm has yet to make a proper northwest turn and needs to do so soon. The farther west the storm tracks, the more of a threat it becomes to the Florida coastline.
