Tropical Storm Andrea Update #2

Tropical Storm Andrea made landfall in Dixie County, Florida this evening.  As of 5pm, the storm was around 856 miles southwest of Philadelphia with winds of 65mph, an air pressure of 993mb, and moving northeast at 17mph.  Andrea is still forecasted to track up the Atlantic seaboard and move over New Jersey on Friday.  It will bring up to a couple inches of rain to our area with locally higher amounts of precipitations, which gives us the threat of flooding.  Furthermore, there will be some gusty winds, mainly along the shore points, and the risk of storm surge and wave heights will be low.
