We have a new Tropical Storm that may impact us this weekend

·The latest forecast shows a strong Tropical Storm tracking approximately 100 miles off the GA and SC coasts Sunday into Monday.

·If this track and intensity forecast holds, the main impacts would be along the coast and could include gusty winds, rip currents, high surf, beach erosion, coastal flooding, and heavy rainfall.

·Confidence in the forecast remains low, especially since Isaias is still 3-4 days away and the system is currently disorganized. A LOT could change between now and Sunday. Stay alert.
