Warm and muggy conditions are expected in the next few days with scattered showers and storms. Mostly cloudy skies and increased rain chances will keep temperatures in the mid to upper 80s each afternoon with uncomfortable lower 70s expected at night. All eyes will be on hurricane Florence which will approach and potentially impact the southeast Thursday into next weekend. The exact track and intensity will ultimately determine its impacts on the region.

Tropical Update: Florence continues to intensify as it gradually moves west through the Atlantic. The storm will continue to intensify over the next few days. The storm will begin to curve north over the next few days. The exact track will ultimately determine who will see the strongest winds and biggest impacts. Although winds will become breezy Wednesday, no rain or strong winds are expected until Thursday. The storm will approach and likely make landfall late Thursday into early Friday. This storm will have catastrophic impacts on the area where Florence makes landfall, along the NC coast. Rain and strong winds will extend well inland, gradually less intense as you move further form the center of the storm. The storm will slow down Friday and it will linger over the southeast through at least the weekend. Flooding will be a major concern wherever this stall takes place. This storm will go down in the history books. The exact track and intensity will continue to wiggle over the next 72 hours, we will continue to update the situation as it evolves.
