Weather Update #1

​The National Weather Service has released the latest information on the two areas of interest in the tropics.
 
Tropical Storm Humberto- TS Humberto has formed in the lower Atlantic east of the Dominican Republic. Weather officials have reasonable belief that while this storm will become a hurricane, it will not have effects to Charleston County past a rip current risk on our beaches.
 
Disturbance 1 (Imelda if named)- We continue to monitor this disturbance which currently has a 70% chance of forming in the next 48 hours and 90% percent in the next 7 days.
 
As of this afternoon, local meteorologists say new models indicate a more westward shift towards our coastline. If we get impacts it would be on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
 
We are urging residents and renters to pay attention to local meteorologists forecasts. We will continue to monitor the tropics and send out more updates throughout the weekend.
