ENTIRE REGION.

TUESDAY, NEXT TUESDAY, AS WE GO
INTO NEXT WEEK, JUST TO SHOW
YOU THE DURATION OF THIS EVENT.
THERE IS THE LAST COUPLE IMAGES
OF THE SATELLITE IMAGE BEFORE
WE LOSE THE VISIBLE SHOT BUT
THAT THING YOU NOTICE EYE IS
TRYING TO REFORM OVER THE WARM
@ WATERS OF THE GULF STREAM.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TRY TO BE
INTENSIFY.
IT IS NOT WEAKENING NOW, IT MAY
HAVE WEAKENED EARLIER BUT IT
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THE SURGE
OFF THE CHARTS.

DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THE SURGE OFF THE CHARTS. GETTING REPORTS OF HOMES
ALREADY BEING WASHED AWAY IN
SOME BARRIER ISLANDS BETWEEN
WILMINGTON TOWARDS THE CRYSTAL
COAST +@TOWARDS MOREHEAD CITY.
FOR MORE ON THE IMPACTS AND
WHAT IS GOING ON, THIS IS JUST
THE BEGINNING LET'S GO TO AISHA
SCOTT.
>> Reporter: ALREADY HAMMERING
THE COAST.
LET'S START WITH A LOOK AT
WHERE THESE RAIN BANDS ARE
MOVING.
OUTER BANDS MOVING INLAND
TALKING YOUR RICHMOND EVEN INTO
RALEIGH, STARTING TO SEE OUTER
RAIN BANDS.
+@
RALEIGH, STARTING TO SEE OUTER RAIN BANDS. ALONG OUTER BANKS HEAVY RAIN
ESPECIALLY AS YOU MOVE TOWARD
HATTERAS NOT TOO FAR FROM
PORTSMOUTH NEAR ATLANTIC SOME
HEAVIER RAIN BANDS AS WE MOVE
+@ FARTHER SOUTH INTO WILMINGTON,
ROCKY POINT AND THE YELLOW AND
ORANGE AS YOU SEE THERE, HEAVIER
BOUTS OF RAIN, THE RAIN COMING
DOWN AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP AS
WELL.
WE TALK ABOUT NOT ONLY THE
REIGN OF THE COAST ALREADY
STARTING BUT ALSO THE WINDS
PICKING UP AS FLORENCE MOVES ON
SHORE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE WITH THE
WIND GUST CHART.
NOTICE THE PURPLE OR PINK SHADE
YOU SEE HERE WIND OVER 40 MILES
PER HOUR.
40 MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS DUSTING
YOUR WILMINGTON, STRETCHING TO
PORTIONS FURTHER INLAND NO THEY
ARE WEAKER AGAIN AS FLORENCE

ARE WEAKER AGAIN AS FLORENCE CONTINUES TO LINGER OFF THE COAST.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN TERMS OF
WIND AND RAIN IN THE WEEKEND?
>> WE WILL SEE WIND IN THE
CHARLOTTE AREA WE HAVE NOTICED
BREEZY CONDITIONS TODAY.
WINDS WILL PICK UP AS WE GO
INTO TOMORROW BUT NORMALLY AT
THIS SPEED THEY ARE NOT A +@HUG
THREAT, IT IS THE WET WEATHER
COMBINED WITH THE WIND, THAT IS
WHY THE DOWNED TREE THREAT IS
IN THE MEDIUM RANGE.
THIS IS AS OF RIGHT NOW.
+@
IN THE MEDIUM RANGE. THIS IS AS OF RIGHT NOW. I WAS TEMPTED TO PUT THE
FLASHLIGHT THREAT IN THE
EXTREME RANGE BECAUSE WE ARE
THAT CLOSE TO GETTING RID THAT
BAND SETS UP.
HERE IS THE WIND, HEAVY WINDS
INTO AREAS TOWARDS WAYNESBORO.
RICHMOND COUNTY, CHESTERFIELD
COUNTY HAVE TROPICAL STORM
+@
RICHMOND COUNTY, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY HAVE TROPICAL STORM ADVISORIES IN EFFECT BUT WINDS
THAT MOVING THAT WILL BE WEAKER
BUT PERSISTENT.
NOTICE WINDS OUT OF THE
NORTHEAST MOST TOMORROW INTO
SATURDAY BETWEEN 25 AND 35
MILES PER HOUR IN A HEAVIER
RAIN BANDS THEY COULD GUST UP
TO 45 MILES AN HOUR.
THE STRONGEST WINDS ONCE THE
STORM MOVES INLAND GET OFF THE
SURFACE AND EVERYTHING MIXES
BACK DOWN IS A PROBLEM.
WATCH THIS HEAVY RAIN BAND YOU
SEE THE CIRCULATION HEAVY RAIN
STARTS TO MOVE INTO THE
CHARLOTTE AREA PROBABLY LATE
TOMORROW EVENING INTO TH+@E
OVERNIGHT.
THIS IS THE BAND LIKE THE
FIREHOSE WINDING UP FROM
WILMINGTON INTO RICHMOND COUNTY
MAYBE ALL THE WAY BACK TO
CHARLOTTE.
WHERE IT ACTUALLY SETS UP IS
STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED IT
COULD SHIFT A COUNTY OR TWO
NORTH OR SOUTH AND THAT WOULD
HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS ON AREAS
ACROSS THE CHARLOTTE AREA,
BECAUSE THE URBAN AREA A+@ND
IMPERVIOUS SURFACES WE HAVE THE
RUNOFF WOULD BE TREMENDOUS.
ONCE IT MOVES TO THE MOUNTAINS
WE HAVE MOUNTAIN PROBLEMS
BECAUSE THIS WILL INTERCEPT THE
MOUNTAINS AT ALMOST A
PERPENDICULAR ANGLE.
THAT MEANS TREMENDOUS UPLIFT AS
WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR
LANDSLIDES.
THE TIMING FOR THE CHARLOTTE
AREA WE HAVE BEEN FINE BUT
TOMORROW WIND AND RAIN WILL
PICK UP LATE AFTERNOON.
AS WE GO INTO SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY, THAT IS WHEN WE WILL BE
AT THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR FLASH
FLOODING SATURDAY, SUNDAY INTO
EARLY MONDAY.
THE TORNADO THREAT PROBABLY
PEAKS AROUND SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
AS WELL AND POWER OUTAGE THREAT
AS WELL A.

BO+@TTOM LINE HEAVY RAIN 6-8
INCHES WITH SOME AMOUNTS CLOSE
TO 10.
IMPACTS FROM TREES NUMBER 2

POWER LINES BECAUSE THE GROUND
GET SATURATED.
THROWING 30-40-MILE AN HOUR
