Hurricane Kate Is Getting Stronger As It Moves Away From The Bahamas by Ivanna Ramirez

Tropical Storm Kate continues moving away from the northwest Bahamas and the East Coast of the United States.
Kate may gain a little strength in the next day or so before becoming absorbed into an extratropical cyclone over the north Atlantic Ocean. Due to atmospheric steering currents on the western periphery of high pressure over the open Atlantic, Kate is currently being pulled north and then is expected to turn northeast Tuesday, remaining well off the Southeast coast. 
Shower and thunderstorm activity with locally heavy rain has soaked parts of the East this week from a separate weather system. 
Before Kate was named, the incipient tropical wave doused parts of the Lesser Antilles with excessive rainfall. Martinique picked up 192.4 millimeters (7.57 inches) of rain from Thursday through 8 p.m. AST Saturday. Most of that fell Friday, causing serious flooding on parts of the island.
