Hurricane Ian's remnants will douse parts of the Mid-Atlantic this weekend into early next week.

Up to a couple inches of rain possible locally, but still some uncertainty on placement when it comes to the northern end of the rain shield.

1. It's getting a little irritating with a lot of the media claiming the worst is over

while I hope it is we're going to be dealing with this thing for another 4-5 days at least. As far as the Mid-Atlantic coast is concerned yes maybe a couple inches. But first of all there's going to be record setting rainfall in Fl going through tomorrow evening not to mention the risk for a tornado outbreak is only going to increase from central FL up through SC for the next 3 days because this hot storm is slamming into an extremely strong cold front. When/if it gets back over the Atlantic tomorrow afternoon there is still potential for it to be a strong TS and a slight chance of it becoming a Cat 1 hurricane. The St. Johns river near Jacksonville has already been near flood stage this morning and is only going to get worse. The interaction with the strong front in the SE could produce rainfall amounts in N Central and NE FL upwards of 2 feet in the next 24 hours. It will more than likely make a second landfall somewhere around Charleston SC or just south of there. It's still not going to be moving very fast and if anyone is familiar with Charleston it floods easier than almost any city on the east coast. They are still expecting 3-5 feet of surge in that area and thats a lot for SE SC, plus 6 inches of rain on top of that.

After that its going to get absorbed into the front right over the mountains in NC and VA and just sit there. Some models have upwards of 10 inches of rain falling in the mountains and the foothills, thats devastating flash flood territory IF it happens.

I'm not saying all of that will happen but this thing is acting like hurricane Harvey in TX IMO of 40 years watching and chasing these things. I'm seeing so much media acting like its over. It just pisses me off.
