FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL: Remnants of Chantal will move northeast across Delmarva this afternoon. The air is primed with tropical moisture and flash flooding will be possible. High winds and tornadoes are NOT expected - the focus will be on flooding concerns and impacted travel.
CHANTAL UPDATE: The good news is that this will be more of a nuisance for Delmarva, with the exception of a higher rip current risk at the beaches. The system is now a weak low, and it will track across the peninsula Monday aftn. Heavy rain could prompt isolated flooding.
Wrapped up a nearly seven year career with @47abc this week. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had - from starting as a Web Producer, to moving to an on air role less than a year later. Next up: Public Relations Coordinator ☺️
