Tropical Storm Fernand has formed in the western Gulf of Mexico and will bring a threat of heavy rain and flooding to the northeast Mexico. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is also watching three other areas in the Atlantic for possible tropical development.
Heavy rainfall is the main threat from Fernand in northeast Mexico. Rainfall totals of 6 to 12 inches are possible, particularly in the higher terrain. That could result in life-threatening mudslides and flash flooding.
Some locally heavy rain from Fernand will also soak South Texas through Wednesday. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are possible, with locally up to 6 inches.
As it goes for Hurricane Dorian, it is still in the Bahamas. The now – Category 3 storm parked itself over Grand Bahama Island after making landfall Sunday night. It’s killed five people, devastated the island with high winds and rain and destroyed an untold number of structures.
The storm is expected to slowly head north and will approach Florida’s east coast tonight (but is not expected to make landfall) before skirting up the Georgia and South Carolina coasts tomorrow night.
