DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Elsa was located near latitude 32.7 North, longitude 82.0 West. Elsa is moving toward the north-northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h). A turn toward the northeast is expected this morning, followed by a faster northeastward motion later today. On the forecast track, Elsa will move over Georgia this morning, over South Carolina and North Carolina later today, pass near the eastern mid-Atlantic states by tonight and move near or over the northeastern United States on Friday. Doppler radar and surface data indicate that the maximum sustained winds remain near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow weakening is expected through tomorrow as Elsa moves over land, and some re-strengthening is possible on Friday while the system moves close to the northeastern United States. Elsa is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone late Friday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km), mostly southeast of the center near the coast. A few hours ago, wind gusts of 75 to 80 mph (120 to 130 km/h) were reported from Weatherflow stations near Tybee Island, Georgia, in a severe thunderstorm in an outer rain band. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).

RAINFALL: Elsa is expected to produce the following rainfall amounts and impacts the rest of this week: Across portions of southeastern Georgia and the Lowcountry of South Carolina, storm totals of 3 to 5 inches with isolated maximum amounts up to 8 inches are likely today, which may result in considerable flash and urban flooding. Across central and eastern North Carolina into southeastern Virginia...1 to 3 inches with isolated totals up to 5 inches from late tonight through tonight are possible, which could lead to limited flash and urban flooding. From the Mid-Atlantic into New England, 1 to 3 inches with isolated totals up to 5 inches are possible today into Friday. This could lead to limited flash and urban flooding.
