An area of heavy rain and thunderstorms off the North Carolina and South Carolina coastlines Monday morning, designated Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 (or PTC 8 for short), is the next potential Atlantic system that may affect the continental United States.

What used to be Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight continues to bring rounds of heavy rain to parts of the Carolinas. Close to 20" has fallen in parts of North Carolina around Carolina Beach. The only other system being monitored now is in the central Atlantic.

Hampton Roads and eastern North Carolina are still under a coastal flood advisory as remnants of Potential Tropical Storm 8 move over the region. Meteorologists expect between 1-2 inches of rain over the course of the day,
