11PM Eastern Time forecast track from National Hurricane Center for September 9, 2018
Hurricane Florence is a storm we've been watching for a few days now... as we've seen models jump back and forth we advised caution and keeping an eye on this storm. It also wasn't a bad idea to make preparations for this storm whether it be preparing to evacuate or to go to the store and get necessary supplies.
Sadly, it is looking more and more likely that Florence will impact the East coast of the U.S. between South and North Carolina. This storm is anticipated to undergo rapid intensification late Sunday and through Monday and Tuesday, current landfall projections are as a Category 4 storm.
Hurricane Florence model track plots as of 11PM Eastern Time on September 9, 2018
There are a few models that still take Florence back out to sea, but we've seen a lot more agreement on tracks taking the storm into the East Coast of the U.S. and especially in and around the Carolinas.
Our Advice
Although not Colorado weather related, we urge folks with friend and family in these areas to keep in touch with those folks. Urge them to prepare for this storm if they haven't yet... if this storm landfalls as a Category 4 it will be very significant.
There are still slight chances the track shifts or the storm goes back out to sea but the models predicting that are becoming fewer and fewer.
