Hurricane Idalia continues to track toward the Carolinas
Idalia continues to weaken as it pushes through South Georgia.
As of the 1 p.m. advisory, it was a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.
TORNADO WATCH is in effect until 10 p.m. ET for coastal counties in South Carolina. This includes the Grand Strand. Watch for feeder bands of the circulation of Idalia to approach. Have a way to receive warnings throughout the entire day.
Onshore winds from the storm, coupled with high tide will create high water levels. One to three feet of water above ground level is expected.
Water level rises from this storm are not expected to reach levels from previous storms like Isaias or Ian. But understand that coastal flooding will still be an issue.
