Friday Evening Update on Hurricane Matthew! (credit: Meteorologist Jordan Rabinowitz)

DISCUSSION: As Hurricane Matthew continues moving northward through the evening and overnight hours, major impacts will continue being felt across sections of coastal and semi-interior Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina!  These impacts will predominantly be in the form of heavy rainfall (and consequential flooding across the aforementioned regions) coupled with strong winds (i.e., sustained winds between roughly 70 and 85 mph with some higher gusts periodically) and a formidable storm surge.  Therefore, if you do not need to be out and about both tonight and tomorrow, try to avoid doing so to the best of your ability.

For more details on the current status of Hurricane Matthew and what the future holds for both the track and intensity of this hurricane, be sure to watch the informative video update attached above!
