NASA TRMM 3-D Flyby of Tropical Storm Andrea (VIDEO)
Caption
This flyby animation showed most of the rain was well ahead of the center of circulation. A broad area of light (shown in blue) to moderate rain (shown in green) covers the eastern half of Georgia and all of South Carolina. A cluster of heavier rain cells (shown in red) is poised to move onshore along the upper part of the South Carolina coast while at the same time the area right around the storm's center is nearly devoid of rain. At the time of this animation, Andrea had weakened slightly to a moderate tropical storm with sustained winds reported at 50 mph.
