Downgraded to a tropical storm, Ian travels from the Carolinas to the mid-Atlantic region. New York's Husdon, meanwhile, anticipates hurricane remnants in the form of heavy rain.
Now a Tropical Storm and Moving Away
Ian made its final landfall just outside Georgetown, South Carolina, and is now moving away from the coast across the Carolinas. It will keep bringing isolated tornadoes, strong winds, and flood-threatening rain from the Carolinas into some of Virginia.
Ian, formerly a hurricane, is currently a tropical storm-force system moving through the Carolinas in a northward direction.
From the Appalachians to the mid-Atlantic, gloomy conditions will last into Saturday and include gusty winds, copious rain, and a few tornadoes.
Wind, Rain, Flood
As Ian moves inland, there may be some tree damage and power outages throughout the mid-Atlantic, Carolinas, and Appalachians.
Given that there will be heavy rain, trees will also be easier to bring down.
Another significant threat from the Carolinas to the Virginia area and the Appalachians is heavy rainfall.
These areas' extensive rainfall may result in fiver flooding and flash flooding. Greater flooding, including record river flooding, is anticipated to continue farther south into the first part of next week in Florida.
Hurricane Ian tore through Florida on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm before strengthening again as it made landfall in South Carolina on Friday.
Goodbye Carolinas and Florida, Hello Hudson New York

The hurricane's remnants are heading north. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the majority of the area is only marginally at risk for severe weather. On Saturday, there is a slight chance of excessive rain in Long Island and New York City.
Through Tuesday, highs will range from the mid to upper 50s. The potential wind gusts and heaviest rainfall will occur on Saturday. On Sunday, there will be less rain but possibly stronger winds. There is a chance of rain on Monday and Tuesday before the sun emerges on Wednesday through Thursday with temperature highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
There is a chance of beach erosion, strong winds, and coastal flooding along the mid-Atlantic coast. Rainfall could increase if Ian slows down, The Weather Channel reports.
