What was Tropical Depression # 2 is now Tropical Storm Bonnie, and it’s bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the coast of the Carolinas. As of 5 am Sunday, Bonnie was located near 32.1 North, 79.4 West, about 60 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina. Bonnie was moving north at 8 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour.

Bonnie is expected to weaken as it moves along the coast of South and North Carolina over the next day or so, and the system will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to much of the coastal Mid-Atlantic through Memorial Day.
