Hanna Expected To Turn To The Northwest

Earlier this evening, I received an email asking about Hanna:

"I have a wedding that's outdoors but with a contingency indoors that I'm not to thrilled about. Even less thrilled about Hanna. I'm a realist so I can handle bad news as long as I can make plans around them. I want the day to be special for my fiance. In turn I'm trying to gather as much info as I can."

This is definitely a tough call! Right now it is still too early to get down to specifics, but Hanna is definitely going to turn to the northwest in the next couple days. As you can see from the data below, forecasts are still in agreement about Hanna's turn to the northwest. However, the track still looks erratic after two days. Right now I'm leaving the chances for rain at only 50% for Friday and Saturday because of these inconsistencies.

The Latest On Hanna

The showers from earlier today have either dissipated or moved into North Carolina. The rest of this holiday weekend will remain dry. Now all eyes are on the tropics. Yesterday, I showed you all the computer forecasts for Hanna. The latest data is plotted on the map at the bottom of this post.

You can now see that the lines are becoming more consistent and show the track of Hanna towards the coast of Georgia or South Carolina. We have to take this storm very seriously because the remants of Hanna could affect us as early as Friday.

I want to emphasize that this situation will be day-to-day and that the track could change later this week. Stay with CBS 6, we will keep you ahead of the storm!
