Tropical Depression Nate Heads Towards the Northeast (credit: WeatherTap)

DISCUSSION: As of tonight, the worst impacts from what was previously Hurricane Nate, then Tropical Storm Nate, and now Tropical Depression Nate is being felt across parts of the Ohio Valley and the Mid-Atlantic region.  As a result, some additional flooding concerns are being realized for a brief time across states such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.  This is a direct result of heavier showers persisting across these states as well as some surrounding areas as the tropical moisture associated with the weakening remnant circulation tied to Nate gradually propagates through these regions.  Hence, even at this hour, there still remain to be a few flood warnings in effect across parts of Virginia in light of some heavier embedded showers moving through.  Hence, even well-beyond 24 hours after the time of landfall along the central U.S. Gulf Coast, Tropical Depression Nate is still proving to be a flooding threat for millions of people in the path of this weakening tropical low pressure system.
