Good evening, everyone. Hurricane Florence continues to head toward the Carolinas and will arrive late Thursday into early Friday. This system is slowing down a little and that opens the door for a little greater spread in the track possibilities, especially inland. As of this writing, there is an increasing risk for Florence to bring heavy rain and wind our way.

Here’s the latest specifics and forecast from the National Hurricane Center…

The hurricane models are showing the potential for a worst case scenario of a super slow-moving system in the Carolinas…

Notice how many of the members now bring that directly on top of Kentucky by Sunday and Monday. That could still be classified as a depression as it moves in.

The GFS Ensembles are similar…

The new European Model does a strange dance with Florence as it gets ready to come ashore…

Still, it brings that system right on top of Kentucky by Sunday and Monday…

The new run of the GFS is similar with the southward jog into South Carolina, then heads toward our way…

The same run from earlier today did not make the south look, but still rolled into our part of the world…

The NAVY Nogaps model is more similar to that run…

As you can see, there is still uncertainty as to exactly how all this plays out, but every model has the remnants of Florence impacting our weather in some capacity.

I will update things tonight. Enjoy your evening and take care.
