Emergency Management Weather Tracking
Please see the updated weather information below. The key takeaway is that Hurricane Florence will most likely be a Category 4 hurricane when it makes landfall. Landfall will probably be along the Southeastern coast of North Carolina sometime late Thursday or early Friday. After that, we are uncertain the exact track of the storm. Effects from the storm will be wide ranging, and the model may not depict what route the storm will maneuver after making landfall.
Once in the Carolinas, the storm is expected to stall causing significant flooding issues. It is possible we will have long-term impacts from this storm in many areas of the state. Please stay tuned to your local forecasts and use these links for important storm information:
