DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
\n———————-
\nAt 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Florence was
\nlocated near latitude 29.0 North, longitude 70.1 West. Florence is
\nmoving toward the west-northwest near 17 mph (28 km\/h). A motion
\ntoward the west-northwest and northwest is expected through
\nThursday. Florence is expected to slow down considerably by late
\nThursday into Friday, and move through early Saturday. On the
\nforecast track, the center of Florence will move over the
\nsouthwestern Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas today,
\nand approach the coast of North Carolina or South Carolina in the
\nhurricane warning area on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km\/h) with higher
\ngusts. Florence is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
\nHurricane Wind Scale. Strengthening is forecast through tonight.
\nWhile some weakening is expected on Thursday, Florence is forecast
\nto be an extremely dangerous major hurricane when it nears the
\nU.S. coast.<\/p>\n

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from
\nthe center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175
\nmiles (280 km).<\/p>\n

The estimated minimum central pressure is 946 mb (27.94 inches).<\/p>\n

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
\n———————-
\nSTORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
\ntide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
\nrising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water has the
\npotential to reach the following heights above ground if peak surge
\noccurs at the time of high tide…<\/p>\n

Cape Fear to Cape Lookout, including the Neuse, Pamlico, Pungo, and
\nBay Rivers…9-13 ft
\nNorth Myrtle Beach to Cape Fear…6-9 ft
\nCape Lookout to Ocracoke Inlet…6-9 ft
\nSouth Santee River to North Myrtle Beach…4-6 ft
\nOcracoke Inlet to North Carolina\/Virginia Border…4-6 ft
\nEdisto Beach to South Santee River…2-4 ft<\/p>\n

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
\nonshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
\ndestructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
\ntiming of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
\nshort distances. For information specific to your area, please see
\nproducts issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
\noffice.<\/p>\n

RAINFALL: Florence is expected to produce heavy and excessive
\nrainfall in the following areas…<\/p>\n

Coastal North Carolina…20 to 30 inches, isolated 40 inches
\nSouth Carolina, western and northern North Carolina…5 to
\n10 inches, isolated 20 inches
\nElsewhere in the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states…3 to
\n6 inches, isolated 12 inches<\/p>\n

This rainfall would produce catastrophic flash flooding and
\nsignificant river flooding.<\/p>\n

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within
\nthe hurricane warning area on Friday. Winds are expected to first
\nreach tropical storm strength on Thursday, making outside
\npreparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life
\nand property should be rushed to completion.<\/p>\n

SURF: Swells generated by Florence are affecting Bermuda and
\nportions of the U.S. East Coast. These swells are likely to cause
\nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
\nproducts from your local weather office.<\/p>\n
