Good evening, folks. Hurricane Florence has weakened some today, but is still a major hurricane on a collision course with the Carolinas. The storm will likely have a direct impact on our weather late this weekend into early next week.<\/p>\n

This storm has a chance at a double landfall… One south of Wilmington, NC, with the other in South Carolina. The latest National Hurricane Center forecast reflects this possibility…<\/p>\n

The various hurricane models are in very good agreement with the forecast track of the storm into the Carolinas and then all the way into Kentucky by early next week…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Followed by the South Carolina hit…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From there, the Euro takes this system across central and eastern Kentucky…<\/p>\n

Some thoughts on how all this may play out:<\/p>\n
