and let's check in with meteorologist Joe Lundberg at Acculator's headquarters. Joe, what devastation over the weekend? 10 states. In fact, the remnants or the rain we're getting now, right? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it's tied with an upper level low pressure area that's just not moving. It's the thing that caught at the first time and brought it westward and brought all that devastation to the mountains of North Carolina and into eastern Tennessee. But it's just going to roble around for the next couple of days. So we're going to get off off and on light rain and drizzle, nothing like what they saw down there. But cloudy skies for the next couple of days does give way to some sunshine as we get to Wednesdays, who are improving weather here once we get to midweek. And what about the talk of potentially some storms lining up in the Atlantic? Oh, there's several more opportunities. There's an area of disturbed weather in the western Caribbean, and that's going to kind of bleed into the southwest Gulf of Mexico. It's an area that could develop slowly over the next few days. And unfortunately, it looks like Florida, or perhaps part to the southeast, may be a target. I don't think it would get up at the Carolinas at this point of time, but that's obviously subject to change. And there's more systems that are going to be developing out in the Atlantic. There's one on the verge of becoming a tropical storm that's likely to become a strong hurricane by the end of the week. Although it looks like that would stay out in the Atlantic, and there's probably more behind that one, too. Joe, I'm concerned that we're heading into the heart of the hurricane season, and we could wind up having a really awful year. It could be a bad year, especially when you look at what Helene has just done. That's unimaginable. Joe, thanks for the update. You're welcome. And we'll keep you posted here on News Radio KDKA.
