... Tropical storm wind watch remains in effect from 7 PM EDT this
evening through Saturday morning...
... New information...
The center of Tropical Storm Hanna is now about 425 miles south
of Wilmington. A tropical storm wind watch remains in effect
across Marlboro and Darlington counties. A tropical storm wind
watch means tropical storm force winds may develop.
... Areas affected...
This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in
Marlboro and Darlington counties in northeastern South Carolina.
... Watches/warnings...
No additional hazards are in effect.
... Storm information...
At 800 am EDT... the center of Tropical Storm Hanna was located
near latitude 28.2 north... longitude 78.8 west or about 115
miles... east of Melbourne Florida and about 425 miles... south of
Wilmington North Carolina.
Hanna is moving toward the northwest near 18 mph. A gradual turn
to the north with an increase in forward speed is expected later
today. On the forecast track... the center of Hanna will be near
the southeast coast of the United States later today.
However... rains and winds associated with Hanna will reach the
coast well in advance of the center.
Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft
indicate that maximum sustained winds remain near 65 mph...
with higher gusts. Only slight strengthening is forecast prior to
landfall... although it is still possible for Hanna to become a
hurricane.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 315 miles from
the center.
The minimum central pressure just reported by the aircraft was
980 mb... or 28.94 inches.
Hanna is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 1 to
3 inches with isolated amounts up to 5 inches across the inland
portions of southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South
Carolina.
... Winds...
Sustained tropical storm force winds are possible across the area
tonight. As a result... a tropical storm wind watch has been
issued. Gusts up to 60 mph are also possible tonight. Winds will
diminish during Saturday morning.
... Inland flooding...
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible across the
area... with isolated amounts up to 5 inches possible. There could
be some minor flooding in poor drainage and urban areas.
... Tornadoes...
There is a slight risk of tornadoes late today into tonight.
