After making landfall in South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane on Friday, Ian has turned into a post-tropical cyclone. Although it will continue to weaken as it moves north, Ian will still bring some additional rainfall, gusty winds and the potential for coastal flooding today.

What You Need To Know

  • Wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour are possible

  • Coastal flooding and rough surf are expected along the coast

  • Additional rainfall is likely, especially across northern and central North Carolina

  • A few embedded thunderstorms are possible, particularly across the northern and central coasts

Ian made its fourth and final landfall near Georgetown, South Carolina, on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph.

Once it moved over land, it quickly weakened and became a post-tropical cyclone. Ian will continue to weaken as it heads north today, but will still bring some additional showers and gusty winds today before dissipating over south-central Virginia by tonight.

In addition, coastal flooding and rough surf remain a concern, particularly along the northern and central coasts.

As the storm heads north, wind gusts could still reach 35 mph in North Carolina, with a few stronger gusts possible.

Today is not looking nearly as wet as Friday. In fact, only parts of the state will see times of rain during the day. Although scattered showers will be in the forecast through Monday.
