Hurricane Ian: Wed. AM forecast update

Hurricane Ian is making landfall Wednesday in Florida before continuing across the state. The storm will reemerge into the Atlantic Ocean waters off the East Coast. This will allow Ian, then expected to be a tropical storm, to make a second landfall somewhere along the Georgia or South Carolina coast Friday. The biggest threat from Ian in the Carolinas will be flooding, with rainfall amounts between 6 and 8 inches and storm surge upward of 3 feet along the coast. The storm could also produce an isolated number of tornadoes. Following a potential second landfall Friday, the storm will push inland where it will weaken into a tropical depression. Impacts from the storm are still expected across all of North Carolina and South Carolina from the remnants of this storm. Localized flash flooding is the greatest threat for many Carolinians.
