Storm 5 Alert in effect from now until 7 p.m. Friday

STORM 5 ALERT Thursday Noon to 7 p.m. Friday
 
TIMING: Thursday Afternoon - Friday Evening 

THREATS/IMPACTS: Flash Flooding, Quick spin-up tornadoes, gusty wind

The remnants of Francine will bring a risk for isolated flash flooding and quick spin-up tornadoes starting Thursday afternoon through Friday night.

When tropical systems spawn tornadoes, they tend to form quickly and dissipate quickly. Because they are embedded within the outer rainbands, they are difficult to track on radar so it's important to take all warnings seriously and act quickly.

Drought conditions will enhance the flood risk because water will pool quickly before it can soak in.

Family turns tragedy into hope through 'Asher's Animals' stuffed animal donations

In this job, we have the opportunity to meet truly remarkable people. The Sullivan family has faced incredibly tough times, but time and time again, turn their grieving into giving. What an honor to tell their story.
