Fair skies here as catastrophic flooding hits N.C.

Sunny skies and much-above-normal temperatures continue across the Chicago area Sunday, while catastrophic flooding occurs across much of North Carolina.

Fighting the frictional effects of the land surfaces, winds will continue to decrease, as the remnant lowpressure thatwas once Hurricane Florence creeps very slowly west across northern sections of South Carolina.

To the north of the storm track, across much of North Carolina, 15-30 inches of rainfall has almost all rivers out of their banks with extensive flooding.

While rains have receded along the coastline, heavy downpours will in un-date western sections of the state Sunday. Some North Carolina rivers will still be in flood weeks from now.
