Bahamas...4 to 6 inches, isolated 10 inches
Western Puerto Rico and the central Bahamas...2 to 4 inches
Coastal sections of the Southeast United States...4 to 8 inches,
isolated 10 inches.
This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash floods.

Tropical storm conditions are still possible in portions of the
