Looks like #Ian is about to make its 3rd (& hopefully final) landfall in South Carolina shortly.
Another day of significant storm surge, wind, flooding, and tornado impacts from this hurricane… this time for SC & NC. Will be happy when this TC is finally done. #SCwx #NCwc pic.twitter.com/Fm9sObKEyQ

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND… Our local weather doesn’t get much better this time of year! Full sunshine is expected today, tomorrow, and on Sunday. High temperatures will be near 80 or in the low-80s each day with morning lows in the mid- to upper-50s. Dry weather will likely continue well into next week as we get deeper into the month of October. We continue to monitor Hurricane Ian, set to come ashore in South Carolina today. A few more Friday morning weather headlines are below.
HURRICANE IAN SET TO MAKE SOUTH CAROLINA LANDFALL… A Hurricane Warning continues this morning from the Savannah River to Cape Fear, North Carolina, including ALL of the South Carolina coast. This warning is in effect ahead of the landfall of Hurricane Ian in South Carolina later today. The center of circulation is expected to come ashore near or north of Charleston, South Carolina. Ongoing hurricane hazards will be possible in South Carolina and across parts of the eastern half of North Carolina today, including high wind, heavy rain and flash flooding, storm surge at local beaches, and tornadoes.
FINAL ADVISORY ISSUED FOR T.D. 11 IN ATLANTIC… The National Hurricane Center issued its final advisory on Tropical Depression 11 yesterday evening. The remnant low pressure area in the central Atlantic Ocean will continue to weaken this weekend.
30% CHANCE OF NEW TROPICAL STORM FORMING IN EASTERN ATLANTIC… From NHC: “A tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa is producing a broad area of showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for gradual development of this system through early next week as it moves westward to west-northwestward into the eastern tropical Atlantic.”

Many Americans rely on their neighbors both before and after hurricanes. Check on your neighbors, if you can do so safely. #Ian pic.twitter.com/aAnV3J3WFe

Disaster fatigue is real, but this second landfall by Ian could also be very consequential. Charleston is one of the most flood prone cities in the country and a poster child for sea level rise. 4-7’ of surge expected there. https://t.co/kgu3rHbZDk
