With a little better predictions today, Hanna is expected to barely become a Category 1 storm, if she can event gain that much strength. A very nice weatherman from Myrtle Beach describes what our next few days will look like below.
TRACK Again last night, NOAA sent their high altitude plane up to sample the environment around Hanna. Data from that mission was used in all of last night's evening runs of the various forecast models. While most of them won't be out for a few hours, some of the early tracks still point to a possible landfall near the South Carolina/North Carolina state line or even a track just off the coast into North Carolina Friday night. Assuming the forecast track is reasonably close, here's a time line of events and how you will be impacted.
TIMELINE
THURSDAY - HURRICANE WATCHES WILL LIKELY BE POSTED IN THE MORNING. Another beautiful day with sunshine and easterly winds between 5 - 15 mph.
FRIDAY - Clouds thicken with rain developing and wind increasing later in the afternoon.
FRIDAY NIGHT - Heavy rain and wind, especially along the Grand Strand.
SATURDAY - By mid morning, things are improving quickly with clearing skies and diminishing winds.
WORST IMPACTS FROM 10PM FRIDAY THROUGH 6AM SATURDAY
GRAND STRAND
Wind: 55 - 75 mph
Rain: 3" - 5" with isolated amounts as high as 6"...NOTHING like the 20" we had with Floyd in 1999
Storm Surge: Minimal, but high tide is right around the projected landfall. The typical low lying areas in Georgetown, Garden City and Little River may have some flooding similar to what we experienced with Charley in 2004.
Tornado: Slight risk
INLAND
Wind: 35 - 55 mph especially east of I -95
Rain: 1" - 3" with isolated amounts as high as 4"
Tornado: Slight risk to none
