Tropical Storm Michael is continuing to weaken, according to the National Weather Service, with its maximum sustained winds slowing down to 60 miles per hour.The storm is now located about 25 miles east of Macon, Georgia, continuing to move northeast 20 miles per hour and heading to South Carolina.Though the storm system is losing intensity, it's expected to gain a bit of strength again as it gets closer to the East Coast, hitting some of the areas affected by Hurricane Florence last month."The rainfall amounts are going to be pretty impressive for some of these regions," said CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri.Javaheri says another thing to watch out for is the potential for storm surges hitting bigger populations close to the Delaware Bay as the storm makes its way off land.
