While the remnants of Tropical Storm Emily have reorganized into a tropical depression, there's no need to worry here along the eastern seaboard of the United States. This system will most likely strengthen a little more back into a tropical storm at some time today. However, Emily is expected to take a turn to the northeast, which would allow the storm to head out to sea and no longer impact weather near the US.
As of 11pm Saturday night, Tropical Depression Emily had top winds of 35 miles per hour and was moving north at 8 miles per hour with a minimum pressure of 1011 millibars.
The storm is providing southeast Florida with some rain squalls and gusty winds, while mainly affecting the northeast Bahamas. An additional one to three inches of rain is expected in this area before all is said and done later on today.
As mentioned, Emily will more than likely restrengthen into a tropical storm Sunday. The storm is also expected to pick up speed and take a turn to the northeast. You can see the projected track below. Some rough surf can be expected from eastern Florida shores north through North Carolina through Monday.
If any updates to the storm track or strength are needed, you will find them here or on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific waters are very quiet. There's one wave of low pressure, but there is next to no chance of tropical development with this system over the next 48 hours.
