Steady, widespread rain will stretch across Beaufort County starting at approximately 2 a.m. Thursday morning (July 23) and continuing through mid-morning Friday, with an estimated total rainfall of two-and-a-half to three inches. This is less than earlier predictions, which anticipated Tropical Storm Bertha would travel closer to the East Coast. Instead, the storm remained closer to the Gulf Coast, Beaufort County Emergency Management Director Chris Newkirk said.“Thursday looks like it’s going to be a washout for our area,” Newkirk said. The greatest chance of a severe storm will be Thursday afternoon during the peak heat of the day, which is typical for summertime weather. Severe storms are possible between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Thursday.Newkirk said with the recent dry weather, the ground will soak up a lot of rainwater and the rainwater should drain properly, but localized flooding remains possible. The greatest chance of localized flooding and flash flooding will occur between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Thursday, especially in vulnerable areas.“Some of our streets throughout Washington, some of our lowlying areas - being able to shed that much water off quickly could be an issue,” Newkirk said. Another round of heavy rain could come back on Thursday between 8 p.m. and midnight. The National Weather Service forecasts southwest winds between 11 and 15 miles per hour, with gusts up to 24 miles per hour on Wednesday, July 22. There is a chance of thunderstorms before 5 p.m., and showers are likely.The best way to prepare for Wednesday’s winds and Thursday’s rain is to secure outdoor items and to keep up with local media outlets for any watches or warnings that may be issued. </div></body>
