We would have love to seen more - we were limited in time and there is an subtropical storm causing rain in and around Savannah.
What began as a mid-latitude or extratropical low pressure system has transitioned to a subtropical storm named Andrea. A tropical storm watch is posted from Altamaha Sound, Georgia southward to Flagler Beach, Florida. Andrea has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and little change of strength is forecast. The storm is located about 110 miles southeast of Savannah, Georgia and is moving slowly towards the west at 3 mph. The center of Andrea is forecast to remain offshore through at least Thursday morning and possibly for the remainder of its lifespan.
The greatest impacts from this storm have likely peaked on Monday and Tuesday (before it was even given a name) but an isolated tropical storm-force wind gust or two is still possible especially along the South Carolina and Georgia coast.
Wave heights will continue to be on the decline during the remainder of the week however breakers of 9 to 12 feet will still crash along the beaches of South Carolina during much of tomorrow. Minor to moderate beach erosion is still possible and the risk of rip currents will remain high through at least Thursday and possibly longer.
Coastal showers will move onshore from time to time tonight and Thursday especially along the South Carolina, Georgia, and northeastern Florida coast. Unfortunately for the arid Southeast, any bit of rain is beneficial but it will likely not be a soaking rainfall. The rain that does fall will likely not be enough to help firefighters battle the fires over southeast Georgia and northern Florida.
