I have pulled over my discussion from news14.com below. I will add some additional thoughts later this morning and I will try to cut a video later on as well.

News14.com discussion....

We will squeeze in one more sunny and warm day today before our weather changes a bit as Hanna makes its run at the coast. Today, look for lots of sunshine with highs close to 90 degrees. Just as in recent days, humidity levels will remain fairly low.

Some high clouds well in advance of Hanna will begin to stream in tonight with lows in the low to mid 60s.

Confidence is growing in the future track of Hanna. Landfall continues to look like it will occur on the northern South Carolina coast or the southern North Carolina coast. After landfall, Hanna will bend back to the north and then northeast and head through mainly eastern North Carolina.

The worst effects from Hanna will likely remain confined to eastern portions of North Carolina. For our viewing area, we can expect the chance of some showers tomorrow afternoon with pretty good rain chances arriving tomorrow night into Saturday morning. While some breezy conditions are certainly possible, on Hanna's current expected track, the heaviest inland winds would be confined to areas roughly along and east of I-95. Rain chances will end by Saturday afternoon.

For coastal portions of the Carolinas, especially for the Myrtle Beach area up through Wilmington and into the Outer Banks, heavy surf will continue and increase as we head through tomorrow and tomorrow night. Rain will begin spreading in tomorrow, and it will get windier with time as Friday evening arrives. The roughest stretch of weather will likely be from 6pm Friday evening through midday Friday. Hanna will likely come ashore as a minor hurricane, so wind gusts of 75-90mph will be possible.
