to decide is now just hours away. >> And right now you're seeing what is the remnants of tropical storm. >> It's still tropical storm. Still tropical storm. >> Okay, so tropical storm Francine. It came ashore as a hurricane yesterday. It has decreased in strength since it made landfall. But now, obviously just a tropical storm, but still causing some heavy rain. >> And I wanted to be specific about that, because sometimes when we get to the point where there's no more tropical characteristics, that's when we can say there are remnants of it, right? Yeah, but it still has tropical characteristics this morning with winds that are above that tropical storm strength. So that's what we're continuing to watch this morning. And dropping a large amount of rain. So that center of circulation did make its way onshore. But the concern still is there. So as we are still looking at Francine, it is working its way to the north and you can see near parts of Jackson, Mississippi, these blue boxes that are right there, that indicates where we are dealing with some flooding concerns. Now through the day ahead because of Francine making its way over land, there's more friction that's going to allow it to downgrade, but also it's going to have the potential of some tornadoes with it because of that spin, with height as the center of circulation continues to work its way off to the north, you notice on the south side, really no rain with it, but there's been a large amount of rain over this 24 hour period. As we zoom our way down a little bit more to southeast sides of Louisiana, near Orleans, over just near the 24 hour timeframe, near 7 to 8in of rain in some spots. But even more than that over a 36 hour period. So the flooding is a concern. And that flooding concern will continue as Francine works its way to the north. So you look where the center of circulation is right now, but well to the east. This yellow box through parts of Alabama. That's where there are tornado watches in effect, because of those bands that are still wrapping their way around that center of circulation. So, right now at 4:00, the latest advisory coming in the center is about 60 miles to the east northeast, actually north, I should say, of New Orleans moving its way northeast at 12. So on that track, we'll downgrade to a tropical depression. Then as we go into Friday morning, still as a tropical depression, and then losing those tropical characteristics, then we'll be talking about the remnants going into the weekend. Closer to home, we are seeing a little bit of light rain that's out there in parts of North Texas. It is 70 right now. A lot of cloud cover to start our day, and the cloud cover is because of Francine. That's off towards the east northeast. We have temperatures upper 60s to the low 70s through the afternoon hours. Maybe 86 degrees, seeing some peeks of sunshine. And then Madison and Carmen. After that, we're going to be heating up. Look at this. A heat wave builds in our high temperatures in the upper 90s this weekend
