Gov. Henry McMaster is urging citizens to monitor weather reports closely for the next several days as two tropical systems appear headed for the Carolinas.
“Storm track, speed and landfall forecast may change quickly,” McMaster warned in a Sept. 25 social media post. “South Carolinians along the coast should immediately start paying attention to weather information and alerts from official sources.”
The first storm, officially dubbed Hurricane Humberto early Friday morning, is currently expected to stay out in the Atlantic, creating swells and rip currents along the S.C. coast.
But it’s the second system, currently known as Invest 94L, that has S.C. emergency managers watching the tropics . According to current modeling, the system has a 90% chance of developing into a major storm,
