Tropical Storm Andrea dropped about three inches of rain on Savannah but few issues were being reported locally as it moved up the East Coast.
Tybee Island’s Ocean Rescue reported no unusual issues with rip currents and said they’d not had to rescue any beachgoers Friday, said Ocean Rescue Capt. Mike Taylor.
While Andrea had moved Friday out of the area, there were still chances of isolated thunderstorms in Chatham County throughout the afternoon and evening, said National Weather Service meteorologist Julie Packett. Those chances, at about 20 percent, would continue throughout the the weekend, she added.
The Weather Service was still working Friday afternoon to finalize precipitation numbers in Andrea’s wake, but preliminary data showed about three inches fell at the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport. Most areas in Chatham County saw around 2.5 inches, Packett said.
So far, June has proved to be a very wet month. About five inches of rain have fallen in the first week of the month. The average for June’s first seven days is about three inches, Packett said.
