DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
\n———————-
\nAt 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), reports from An Air Force Reserve
\nreconnaissance aircraft indicate that the center of the eye of
\nHurricane Florence was located near latitude 30.4 North, longitude
\n71.8 West. Florence is moving toward the northwest near 16 mph
\n(26 km\/h) and this general motion, accompanied by a gradual decrease
\nin forward speed, is expected to through Saturday. On the forecast
\ntrack, the center of Florence will move over the southwestern
\nAtlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas today, and approach
\nthe coast of North Carolina or South Carolina in the hurricane
\nwarning area on Thursday and Friday and move slowly near the
\ncoastline through Saturday.<\/p>\n
The reconnaissance aircraft found that maximum sustained winds have
\ndecreased to near 125 mph (205 km\/h) with higher gusts. Florence is
\nnow a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind
\nScale. Some fluctuations in strength will be possible through
\nThursday morning. Although slow weakening is expected to begin by
\nlate Thursday, Florence is still forecast to be an extremely
\ndangerous major hurricane when it nears the U.S. coast late Thursday
\nand Friday.<\/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). A NOAA buoy located about 100 miles northeast of
\nFlorence’s eye recently reported a sustained wind of 53 mph (85
\nkm\/h) and a gust to 74 mph (119 km\/h).<\/p>\n
The minimum central pressure based on reports from the
\nreconnaissance aircraft is estimated to be 948 mb (27.99 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 NC to Cape Lookout NC, including the Neuse, Pamlico,
\nPungo, and Bay Rivers…9-13 ft
\nNorth Myrtle Beach SC to Cape Fear NC…6-9 ft
\nCape Lookout NC to Ocracoke Inlet NC…6-9 ft
\nSouth Santee River SC to North Myrtle Beach SC…4-6 ft
\nOcracoke Inlet NC to Salvo NC…4-6 ft
\nSalvo NC to North Carolina\/Virginia Border…2-4 ft
\nEdisto Beach SC to South Santee River SC…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. This
\nrainfall would produce catastrophic flash flooding and significant
\nriver flooding.<\/p>\n
South Carolina, western and northern North Carolina…5 to 10
\ninches, isolated 20 inches.
\nElsewhere in the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states…3 to 6
\ninches, isolated 12 inches.<\/p>\n
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within
\nthe hurricane warning area late Thursday or Friday. Winds are
\nexpected to first reach tropical storm strength on Thursday, making
\noutside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to
\nprotect life and property should be rushed to completion.<\/p>\n
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible in eastern North Carolina
\nbeginning late Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
SURF: Swells generated by Florence are affecting Bermuda, portions
\nof the U.S. East Coast, and the northwestern and central Bahamas.
\nThese swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
\ncurrent conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
\noffice.<\/p>\n
