Idalia was a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast early Wednesday, Aug. 30. The fast-moving storm is expected to march toward the northeast, threatening to bring tropical storm conditions to the Carolinas later Wednesday, forecasters said.
Much of Eastern North Carolina faces threats of heavy rain and flooding, while storm surge and rough surf are possible in coastal areas. Near Wilmington, the southeastern part of the state is especially at risk for tornadoes, according to the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service.
