Local stations here in Charleston surprisingly haven’t even started doing continuous coverage yet for the storm, even though we’re under 12 hours away from most of the immediate metro area potentially getting 80-100 mph wind gusts.
Only Channel 5 is even running hourly updates. Figuring this is because of the late-night pass, but there’s been storms before where they started doing almost continuous coverage at least a day out.
Watching 2 different stations in-house models (WCBD one of them), and both show snow coming through the CAE area around 6-7pm Monday, eventually heading toward the inland counties like Orangeburg, maybe northern Dorchester. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Here in CHS we still had gusts 50+. Some close to 60. There was a 57 mph gust at the Folly pier. You guys are getting flooding rains in addition to the wind.
The Charleston area south of I-26 has basically had almost no real effects from this storm. Some 45 mph wind gusts, a few power outages, a very small amount of rain (maybe 1/4” or so). Incredible the difference here and 50-60 miles away in Georgetown.
WCTI (ABC in Eastern NC, based in New Bern) has evacuated due to the high water of the Neuse River. Their sister station in Myrtle Beach (WPDE) is picking up coverage.
