Caribbean storm impacts on South Carolina

“Our real concern this morning is over the western Caribbean Sea.”  That’s a concern explained today by Frank Strait, the South Carolina severe weather analyst.  According to Strait, a tropical cyclone will likely form over the northwestern Caribbean Sea in the next 24-48 hours and then track generally northward over the eastern Florida Panhandle on its way toward South Carolina.  By week’s end, the risk for some or all of the state will be heavy rain and flooding, coastal storm surge, and isolated tornadoes.
