ORLANDO, Fla. — Two hurricanes and one tropical storm are in the Atlantic basin right now, with Hurricane Florence the primary concern for the east coast of the United States.

On the latest track, it is projected to make landfall somewhere along the Carolina coastline late Thursday night into early Friday.

Florence becomes a Category 4 hurricane

Florence is now a major Category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph. This storm is located approximately 1,745 miles east-southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.

Further strengthening is still expected in the next 36 hours and Florence will remain a major hurricane as it nears the Carolina coast into Thursday.

Swells generated by distant Florence have begun to impact the southeastern US, including Florida, and will continue to do so through much of this week.

A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for Flagler County until 8pm Friday and a high rip current risk will remain in effect for all of the east coast of Central Florida through Friday.

Florence is moving to the west-northwest at 13 mph. Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 40 miles from the center; tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 150 miles.

The minimum central pressure is 944 mb.

Interests from South Carolina through coastal Virginia should continue to pay close attention to future forecasts.

After landfall, Florence is projected to stall somewhere in the mid-Atlantic region, where it will pose a significant flood threat due to the incredible amount of rainfall forecasted. Some areas could exceed 20-inches of rain from the storm.

Some areas could exceed 20-inches of rain from the storm.

For Central Florida, Florence will bring significant wave activity along our Atlantic coast, a dangerous high rip current threat, and possible coastal erosion due to the crashing waves.

The core of Florence is expected to stay well to the north of our area.

Hurricane Helene increases to Category 2 hurricane

Elsewhere, Hurricane Helene continues to intensify in the eastern Atlantic as it pulls away from the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands. 

Helene will not threaten the United States. It is a Category 2 storm with winds of 110 mph.

Hurricane Isaac's fate uncertain

Finally, Isaac has been downgraded to a tropical storm with a lot of the thunderstorm activity now displaced from the center.

Isaac is approximately 960 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. It is a strong tropical storm with winds of 70 mph.

Isaac is forecast strengthen back to a category one hurricane as it moves west toward the Lesser Antilles.

Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.
