Florence Remnants Likely Headed To Pennsylvania: Here's When

Florence has made landfall in North Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane. It's expected to bring three inches of rain an hour to the Carolinas, and could linger there for a day, forecasters report.

But where will it go next?

It is now likely that remnants from the storm will impact Pennsylvania, forecasters predict. An updated map of the storm's likely track was released Thursday. The storm is expected to move over Tennessee and Ohio, then onto Pennsylvania early next week, before hitting New England.

"The remnants of Hurricane Florence could produce a period of heavy rain Monday into Tuesday," the NWS in State College said Friday.

Here is the map:

Florence officially made landfall around 7:15 a.m. Friday near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

The exact track of the storm once it leaves the will determine which locations along the coast receive the worst of Florence's damaging winds, heavy rain and storm surge flooding, according to AccuWeather. However, the weather pattern is expected to finally shift next week, allowing Florence, as a tropical rainstorm, to accelerate northeastward.

There is the potential it could leave us with 3 to 6 inches of rain.

Pennsylvania is already vulnerable to flooding, due to the high levels of rainfall we have recently received.

The good news is the weekend is looking dry.
