Wet and Windy Sunshine State

This weekend storms passing through the Atlantic were suppose to bring much needed rain to the Northeast. Unfortunately for Florida, this storm could cause damage and potentially be a flood warning. In the picture to the right, the East coast beaches are warned of rip currents, rough surfing and boating and gusty winds.

The direction of the storm will hit Florida on the East coast moving in strong tides and winds. Storm watchers are watching the storm because of a possible development of low pressure that could effect the Southeast. Currently in the United States drought is a huge problem, but for the sunshine state of Florida the East coast could see up to 5+ inches of rain and multiple showers are suppose to compromise the rest of the Florida peninsula.
