DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Hermine was
located by NOAA Doppler radar and surface observations inland
over southern South Carolina near latitude 33.0 North, longitude
80.5 West. Hermine is moving toward the northeast near 20 mph (31
km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Sunday with a
gradual decrease in forward speed during that time. On the
forecast track, the center of Hermine will move across coastal
South Carolina this evening, move across coastal North Carolina
tonight and Saturday morning, and move offshore of the North
Carolina coast by Saturday afternoon.
Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected tonight and early Saturday
while the center of Hermine remains over land. Strengthening is forecast after the center moves offshore, and Hermine could be near hurricane intensity by late Sunday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km),
mainly to the south and east of the center.
A station at Folly Island, South Carolina, recently reported a
sustained wind of 44 mph (70 km/h) and a gust of 59 mph (94 km/h).
Buoy 41029, located just northeast of Charleston Harbor, recently
reported a sustained wind of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a wind gust of 58
mph (94 km/h).
The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations
is 993 mb (29.33 inches).
Winds have died down and the sun came out at 7 PM (just one hour before sunset). My rainfall totals from this storm were about 4.8 inches.
Wow... and that's within 24hrs I believe? I haven't even had a chance to look at the rainfall totals. Last I saw was pretty much 5-10" from it in FL, GA, SC.
