Friday is going to feel like a completely different season. Sunshine will be with us all day, and afternoon temperatures will climb into the low 70s. A light breeze will keep things comfortable, but you’ll want to have a jacket handy Friday evening. Once the sun sets, those temperatures will quickly slide through the 60s and back into the 50s. Friday night football is a go, with zero issues from the weather this week.
A fast and furious Hurricane Michael sped toward the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday with 120 mph winds and a potential storm surge of 13 feet, giving tens of thousands of people precious little time to get out or board up.
In the storm-weary Carolinas, Hurricane Michael’s approach is stoking fresh fears among homeowners who still have tarps on their roofs or industrial dehumidifiers drying their floors from destruction left by Hurricane Florence.
Hurricane Michael, a category 2 storm, is predicted to journey across the Carolinas late Wednesday and early Thursday, pouring 2 to 6 inches or more of rainfall.
The National Weather Service has already issued Flash Flood Watches for most of the WCCB viewing area in preparation for Hurricane Michael.
Hurricane Michael gained new strength Monday and is expected to keep growing stronger ahead of an expected midweek strike on Florida’s Panhandle, forecasters said.

Ten days after Hurricane Florence came ashore, the storm caused fresh chaos Monday across the Carolinas, where rivers kept rising and thousands more people were told to be ready to evacuate.
A new round of evacuations was ordered in South Carolina as the trillions of gallons of water dumped by Hurricane Florence meanders to the sea, raising river levels and threatening more destruction.
