IDALIA WEAKENS TO TROPICAL STORM STATUS… Idalia is now a tropical storm. The center of circulation is approaching Charleston, SC from the west. Idalia will move into the Atlantic Ocean and continue to move away from America over the next few days.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms continue to develop and drift southward this evening. Storms are well under severe limits. Occasional downpours and lightning are happening. pic.twitter.com/pzULgg4NAZ

Hurricane season isn't over. The peak of the season is in 10-12 days.
But, Labor Day weekend will be quiet and clear sailing. ⛵️
Then, in a week, we'll watch the next hurricane in the far off tropical Atlantic. Next name is Jose. pic.twitter.com/3n3i3A3rZe
