Hurricane Florence - 5 AM Weds forecast update

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/092830.shtml?cone#contents

(Hurricane Florence is now a Category 4 storm - hurricane force winds extend out 70 miles - per other NWS info)

2 AM Friday - Category 3 off Wilmington NC - sustained winds at 110 MPH and probable gusts to 130 MPH (iirc the relationship between gusts and sustained winds)

2 AM Saturday - Category 1 off NC/SC border as storms dips to south

2 AM Sunday - in eastern SC - tropical storm - winds sustained between 39 and 73 MPH

this is my interpretation of the NWS info

the storm seems to stall at the SC/NC border area for 24 to 48 hours
