Now A Post-Tropical Cyclone, Elsa Exits Tri-State Area

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Elsa is now a "post tropical cyclone," meaning it has lost its tropical characteristics, and is being absorbed by the jet stream.

It is still packing maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, and moved west of Plymouth, Mass.

Elsa is moving at 31 mph, and this speed will continue to increase.

While Elsa will be gone soon, we'll feel the effects through the weekend with residual flooding and deadly rip currents along our shores.
