Emergency Management Weather Tracking
Although Florence is now a Category 2 storm, the impact will be no less significant. Landfall of the storm will occur near Wilmington in the early hours of Friday morning. Many areas of the coast have or will begin experiencing rain and heavy wind within the hour. If you are watching the storm, please keep in mind the projected path is based on the center of the storm and is not a true representation of the impact or effects. It is currently over 300 miles wide – to give perspective that is the distance from Raleigh to the Tennessee border by way of I-40. Excessive rainfall of 6+ inches are expected in many areas of the state. For areas that are in the direct path of the storm, 20+ inches are forecast – and in very select areas as much as 40 inches could happen.
While the exact track of the storm is unknown after landfall, there is increased confidence that the storm path will hug the NC/SC border. However, this does not diminish the potential impact that we will experience statewide. The central portion of the state could witness rain through Sunday and the mountains through Monday. The western part of the state will begin to experience gusty winds early Sunday morning.
Please stay tuned to your local forecasts and use these links for important storm information:
