A watch is typically issued 48 hours<br \/>\nbefore the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force<br \/>\nwinds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or<br \/>\ndangerous.<\/p>\n<p>For storm information specific to your area, including possible<br \/>\ninland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your<br \/>\nlocal National Weather Service forecast office.<\/p>\n<p>DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nAt 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Florence was<br \/>\nlocated near latitude 26.7 North, longitude 65.3 West. Florence<br \/>\nis moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km\/h). A west-<br \/>\nnorthwestward to northwestward motion with a slight increase in<br \/>\nforward speed are expected during the next couple of days.  On<br \/>\nthe forecast track, the center of Florence will move over the<br \/>\nsouthwestern Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas through<br \/>\nWednesday, and approach the coast of North Carolina or South<br \/>\nCarolina in the hurricane watch area Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km\/h) with higher<br \/>\ngusts.  Florence is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson<br \/>\nHurricane Wind Scale.  Florence is expected to begin re-<br \/>\nstrengthening later today and continue a slow strengthening trend<br \/>\nfor the next day or so.  While some weakening is expected on<br \/>\nThursday, Florence is expected to be an extremely dangerous major<br \/>\nhurricane through landfall.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the<br \/>\ncenter and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles<br \/>\n(240 km).<\/p>\n<p>The estimated minimum central pressure is 950 mb (28.06 inches).<\/p>\n<p>HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nSTORM SURGE:  The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the<br \/>\ntide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by<br \/>\nrising waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water has the<br \/>\npotential to reach the following heights above ground if peak surge<br \/>\noccurs at the time of high tide&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Edisto Beach to Murrells Inlet&#8230;2-4 ft<br \/>\nMurrells Inlet to Cape Fear&#8230;4-6 ft<br \/>\nCape Fear to Cape Lookout including The Neuse and Pamlico<br \/>\nRiver&#8230;6-12 ft<br \/>\nCape Lookout to Ocracoke Inlet&#8230;5-8 ft<br \/>\nOcracoke Inlet to North Carolina\/Virginia Border&#8230;3-5 ft<\/p>\n<p>The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of<br \/>\nonshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and<br \/>\ndestructive waves.  Surge-related flooding depends on the relative<br \/>\ntiming of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over<br \/>\nshort distances.  For information specific to your area, please see<br \/>\nproducts issued by your local National Weather Service forecast<br \/>\noffice.<\/p>\n<p>RAINFALL: Florence is expected to produce total rainfall<br \/>\naccumulations of 15 to 20 inches with isolated maximum amounts to 30<br \/>\ninches near the storm&#8217;s track over portions of the Carolinas and<br \/>\nMid-Atlantic States from late this week into early next week. This<br \/>\nrainfall could produce catastrophic flash flooding and significant<br \/>\nriver flooding.<\/p>\n<p>WIND:  Hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area by<br \/>\nlate Thursday or Thursday night, with tropical storm conditions<br \/>\npossible by Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>SURF:  Swells generated by Florence are affecting Bermuda and<br \/>\nportions of the U.S. East Coast.  These swells are likely to cause<br \/>\nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult<br \/>\nproducts from your local weather office.<\/p>\n<p>NEXT ADVISORY<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nNext intermediate advisory at 200 PM AST.<br \/>\nNext complete advisory at 500 PM AST.<\/p>\n<p>$$<br \/>\nForecaster Stewart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOAA Link 107 WTNT31 KNHC 111446 TCPAT1 BULLETIN Hurricane Florence Advisory Number 49 NWS National Hurricane &hellip; <a title=\"Hurricane Florence Advisory\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=81731\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hurricane Florence Advisory<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blue-skies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81731\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
