Discussion
Florence has made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina as a category 1 hurricane and it will crawl along the coastline over the next 24 hours. This slow movement will lead to an extended period of heavy rainfall and strong winds for coastal sections of the Carolinas and some spots will see more than 20 inches of rainfall. Florence will push inland this weekend and cross over South Carolina in a weakened state and begin a looping process which will begin with an acceleration to the northwest and then to the northeast. Florence will finally push off the Northeast US coastline by the middle of next week and the Atlantic Basin tropical scene may become relatively quiet for awhile. However, after this possible break in the action, the tropical scene is likely to become more active again during the latter part of September and for part of October.
