The low -category hurricane, soon named “Imelda”, can enter the coastal Georgia and Carolins early next week, predicts the National Weather Service (NWS). Or at least a tropical storm near or in the hurricane intensity.
“Later, on Monday, we will definitely see that the conditions will begin to deteriorate,” said NWS meteorologist Carl Barnes, at 6 p.m. September 26.
Invest 94L turned even more mouth: “Potential tropical cyclone 9.” This is because this is not a well -formed storm, although the NWS says it will get into a cyclone over the weekend because it shows stormy air in the Bahamas.
This weekend, the rain in volunteers is unrelated to the impending Imlda. However, when the system reaches the power of a hurricane early next week, the coasts from Georgia to the Southern Atlantic States can expect flood, large surfing, surfing, rupture currents, beach erosion, strong rainfall and strong winds. Tornadoes are also possible, NWS prediction said.
“We hope that the highest rainfalls will be along the right or east of the storm center track” along the South Carolina coast and potentially southeast Georgia, Barnes said. The NWS hopes that the most difficult conditions will take place late Monday evening to Tuesday evening.
Summary of the tropical cyclone 9 is possible from 6 p.m. September 26th.
Although the map of the National Hurricane Center looks quite clear about where the potential “tropical Cyclone 9” leads, “This does not mean that we have less uncertainty than we used to,” Barnes said.
Finally, it depends on which storm is faster: Humbert or soon future Imelda (also known as Potficial Tropical Storm 9).
-
1 scenario: If the potential tropical storm 9 passes against Humbert, the storm could self -strengthen, most likely to descend on the South Carolina coast. From there, he could stay or push away inside. This scenario has “the highest potential for a stronger set of impact, with high winding, rainfall and tornadoes,” Barnes said.
-
Scenario 2: The storm approaches the shore, slows down significantly, stops near the South Carolina coast. Although there will be more threats along the coast with fewer land threats, there will still be increased threats along the coast, including prolonged winds and high rainfall.
-
3 scenario: If Humbert moves north faster than the potential tropical cyclone 9 can organize and start moving north, the potential tropical cyclone can be pulled away from the shore. The effect on the coast would be minimal.
“Unfortunately, we still have no great feeling at the moment because of what will happen, but nowadays our biggest concern is two scenarios,” Barnes said.
Potential tropical storm 9 (soon will Imelda) from 6 p.m. September 26th.
Residents “should ensure that they have their own hurricane plan,” NWS said. You can find recommendations for the National Weather Service to prepare for a hurricane season at the air at the air.gov/safety/hurricane.

Sand bags for volunteers
The city of Savana announced that it had been in a 4 -operating condition – a stages of tracking in a press release, sent Friday night. As part of this status, employees with Savannah weekend are on duty to respond to emergencies.
Savannah residents and companies can pick up sand and sand bags Saturday, September 27th. And on Sunday, September 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the stock lasts.
Sand bags will only be five in each household, and residents must bring their shovels. The goods will be available until they end in the Enmarket Arena parking lot (630 Stiles Ave.) and Savannah Fire Station no. 7 (6902 Sallie Mood Drive).
Port Wentworth Emergency Management said they would monitor the storm and provide updates to any possible road closure due to flooding on their Facebook.
The Looler city will have sand and sand bags at your fingertips, but the decision to present them is likely to be on Sunday, Mayor Karen Williams told Facebook. Washing staff is already on duty all weekend. Public works crews were also directed to focus on checking the troupes and cleaning the sewer to help any possible flood.
The updates will be provided when they are available.
