By later Friday, the storm was expected to affect major inland cities, including Washington and Philadelphia, bringing rain that could produce flooding, the National Weather Service said.
Heavily populated cities lie in the warning area that remains:
the Tampa Bay area and Jacksonville in Florida;
Charleston and tourist-packed Myrtle Beach in South Carolina;
Wilmington and the heavily visited Outer Banks in North Carolina;
and Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Newport News, Va.
New York activated its flash flood plan — with possible alerts via mobile phone — and issued a hazardous travel advisory as moderate to heavy rain was expected through early Saturday.
