Early afternoon update...

Due to Hanna being father south and east today in reality than modeling earlier in the week had it, we are seeing the models adjust for that today with their continued eastward shift in landfall location.

Unless something really changes, the threat looks about over for a Florida or Georgia landfall. And, as it stands now, the threat is looking lower for a South Carolina landfall with an increasing potential for a North Carolina landfall. In fact, some modeling now swings it off to the east of the coast altogether.

However, I would, at this point, still leave the options on the table for either a South Carolina or North Carolina landfall to be on the safe side.

The threat of big problems from this for the Charlotte and Triad zones continues to lessen. Not out of the woods yet, but as it stands now, the biggest problems look to be in the eastern part of the state.
