Emily Could Impact S.C. Coast By Friday

Update 10:30 a.m., per :

Cathy S. Haynes, chief of operations, Charleston County Emergency Management Department released this statement Wednesday morning: "If this system continues on the current track the possibility of tropical threat could be late this weekend or early next week; there is a decent chance for some impact in the form of increased swells and elevated rip current risk as early as Friday."

Original Post The latest projected track for Tropical Storm Emily has the system slowing down off the Florida coast this weekend, before taking a hard right and heading out to sea Sunday.

It is still possible the storm could brush the South Carolina coast early Sunday, and we may see impacts on our beaches even if the storm stays offshore.
