Tropical Update
Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight is getting stronger as it approaches the South Carolina coast. On the forecast track, the low will reach the coast of South Carolina this afternoon and then move inland across the Carolinas tonight through Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph with higher gusts. The low has a chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical storm. Weakening is forecast after the system moves inland, and it is likely to dissipate over the Carolinas by late Wednesday.
Tropical Depression Gordon is over the central Atlantic. A westward motion is expected during the next day or so, then a turn to the north. Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next couple of days, though Gordon could become a post-tropical remnant low at any time.
