SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Michael will move across northeast South Carolina and
southeast North Carolina Thursday into Thursday night as a tropical
storm. Wind gusts to tropical storm force will occur with the
highest gusts along the coast and the adjacent Atlantic waters. The
overly saturated ground and weakened trees will still allow for an
elevated wind risk and some power outages will occur. Flash flooding
will also be possible though the storm`s rapid motion should limit
rainfall amounts.
