Looks like some flooding there on their highway. Its been more than 24 hours since Hurricane Harvey made landfall in the Lone Star State.

Sabina kuriakose track our people in the area helping out those in texas lets begin with meteorologist monica cryan who continues to track the Tropical Storm. Hi, monica. Hi. When we talk about when were saying a downgrade to Tropical Storm, it doesnt mean this storm is going to have less of an impact it means the winds died down bringing it to Tropical Storm category. Those winds at 45 miles an hour. But what that really does mean, though, is that the flooding is still going to be a threat
Effects. Lets get over to meteorologist Melissa Magee with the latest track. We have been tracking jose since early last week and were still tracking it into early this week as well. Right now jose is a category one hurricane winds sustained at 90 miles an hour. It is 305 miles to the south southe of Cape Hatteras North Carolina we will put this into motion here. Movement right now to the north at 9 miles per hour, as we go throughout the next several days, jose will continue to parallel the east coast but you notice even on its most western patties still well off shore of the new jersey beaches and also the delaware beaches, as well.

For philadelphia, points to the south and east, if you are north and west of 95 corridor we will not find a whole lot of impact, wave heights 10 to 15 feet high, minor coastal flooding is a concern and we could have gusts as high as 45 s that Tropical Storm watch has been issued for the new jersey beaches and de
