The Hanna Scenario: More Clear

Computer forecasts are now almost in complete agreement with the track and timing of Hanna. For this reason, the confidence level of the forecast continues to rise. Here is the latest data on the track of Hanna:



More than likely Hanna will make landfall along either the Georgia or South Carolina coast and then hook northward into North Carolina and Virginia - during this time, it will accelerate and weaken. Regardless, this storm still has the potential of dumping significant amounts of rain across the area. Here is a forecast of rain totals, if Hanna takes this track:



The deep shades of green could be anywhere from 6 to 12" of rainfall. Given the latest data, rain should start as early as Friday morning. Then we should see periods of heavy rain on-and-off through Saturday evening.

I want to also remind you that this storm is still four days away and that any shift in the track could greatly impact this forecast, so I encourage you keep a close eye to the forecast through the week. Stay with CBS 6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm!
