Hurricane Milton Update #2

10/8/2024

The Town of Seabrook Island is continuing to monitor the Major Category 4 Hurricane Milton. Charleston County is currently under a Tropical Storm Watch. The National Weather Service says Milton is expected to make landfall in Florida late Wednesday evening.

The storm will then pass to our south in the Lowcountry. Local meteorologists say the biggest impact we could see will be coastal flooding around the high tide cycle on Thursday. They say rainfall will be minimal for our area. Winds could be 10-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph for inland areas and 20-25 mph with 40 mph gusts along our beaches. The rip current risk is high all week, so they are urging people to stay out of the ocean. Beach Patrol Season has ended for 2024 on Seabrook Island, so there are no Beach Patrol personnel on our beaches. We can expect these storm impacts on Thursday.

Please continue to follow our local meteorologists, as the track of the storm will depend on how significant these impacts are along our coast. We will be monitoring the storm and send out updates as needed.
