09/07 Heavy Rains/ Severe potential next few days

Frances, or at least what is left of her, is on a march just along or to the west of the Appalachian mountains. On this track, we will be getting hit with heavy rains, some flooding likely, and even Severe weather as strong "spin" will remain in the atmosphere. Guidance is showing 2-4 inches, but Mountainous regions (which have already seen isolated cases of 1-3" of rain the last few days) are likely to get a lot more. The Rain will really start in earnest later today and into tonight. Severe possibilities are more likely tomorrow and Thursday. The weekend is looking good, as eyes turn southward to Hurricane Ivan! Right now, I believe strongly that the system is headed for the Gulf... questions beyond this time remain.. Will he do a Charley?.. a Bonnie?... or is the threat the western or Central Gulf?... Obviously too early to tell! All for now! ===== Jimmy Chaplin of Mid Atlantic Weather. http://www.midatlanticweather.com * Get the Washington DC Weatherbook!
