Daily briefing: Imelda rain sweeps into Southeast

Rain associated with offshore Imelda sweeps into the Southeast while an autumn Pacific storm produces a soggy last day of September to large stretches of the West Coast. This, along with our tropical update, is available at 5 a.m. ET in our daily briefing.

Imelda, as it moves away from the Florida coast and strengthens into a hurricane, will still bring squalls of rain ashore. The WeatherRadar shows rain extending as far inland as Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C., while soaking northeastern Florida, southeastern Georgia, and the eastern Carolinas.

A slow-moving Pacific system will move deeper into the Northwest today. Rain will fall across the immediate northern California and the Northwest coastlines, with some of the rain moving inland later today. Additional afternoon showers and even a few rumbles of thunder will be possible across the Intermountain West and the Rockies.

A few clouds and a spotty shower will also be possible later today across the central Mississippi Valley into the western Great Lakes. Otherwise, it will be mostly sunny across the Plains, Midwest, Mississippi Valley and the Northeast.

The TemperatureRadar shows unseasonably hot temperatures reaching into the mid-80s from Texas to the Dakotas, with southern and eastern Texas hitting the upper 80s and low 90s. Temperatures in the low to mid-80s will bake the South and Southeast, while 70s are found in the Carolinas, northward into the Northeast.

As discussed above, Imelda continues to move across the western Atlantic, turning away from the East Coast today. Humberto, to Imelda's east, will also move away from the East Coast as it moves to the northeast, deeper into the central Atlantic. No other threats are present.

If you are (or input a location) within 5 miles of the coast, you can see the marine conditions as well as the high and low tide times, here.
