Scientists warn that while the storm’s wind strength is expected to taper off, its lingering moisture could still drive a significant rainfall event across the region. Meteorologists predict the system will gradually lose intensity, but the abundant water vapor it carries could trigger heavy showers and localized flooding as it moves inland. Residents in vulnerable communities are urged to monitor updates and prepare for possible water‑related hazards, even if the storm’s peak power diminishes. The forecast highlights how a weakening cyclone can still pose serious risks through its moisture load.
The storm is predicted to eventually weaken but its moisture could still make the trip.
