Ophelia is still holding on as a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds now down to 45 mph.
Tropical Storm Ophelia weakened to a tropical depression Saturday as the center of what’s left of it churns across southeastern Virginia right now and all Tropical storm warnings and storm surge warnings have been canceled.
Winds will continue to diminish with any remaining heavy rain becoming more scattered in nature. Minor coastal flood impacts will persist Saturday night along the coast, from Virginia to southern New Jersey, where Coastal Flood Alerts remain in effect.
Persistent heavy rain and a flash flood threat do remain in place across portions of southeastern Virginia where the center of what’s left of Ophelia continues to move through. Flash Flood Warnings are in effect for Richmond and surrounding areas right now.
Ophelia continues to bring widespread heavy rain and gusty winds to a large swath of the East Coast on Saturday afternoon.
