Tropical storm Hanna is still heading up the east coast, and could make landfall on the northern South Carolina coast early tomorrow morning.

AT 500 AM EDT…0900Z…THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM HANNA WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 28.0 NORTH…LONGITUDE 78.0 WEST OR ABOUT 125
MILES…200 KM…NORTH-NORTHWEST OF GREAT ABACO ISLAND AND ABOUT 430
MILES…690 KM…SOUTH OF WILMINGTON NORTH CAROLINA.

HANNA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 20 MPH…32 KM/HR. A
GRADUAL TURN TO THE NORTH WITH AN INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED
IS EXPECTED LATER TODAY. ON THE FORECAST TRACK…THE CENTER OF
HANNA WILL BE NEAR THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES LATER
TODAY. HOWEVER…RAINS AND WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH HANNA
WILL REACH THE COAST WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE CENTER.

Hurricane Ike is heading for the Bahamas, and could be heading for South Florida sometime in the middle of next week.

AT 500 AM AST…0900Z…THE EYE OF HURRICANE IKE WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 23.7 NORTH…LONGITUDE 61.0 WEST OR ABOUT 460 MILES…740
KM…NORTH OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND ABOUT 660 MILES…1065 KM…
EAST-NORTHEAST OF GRAND TURK ISLAND.

IKE IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 15 MPH…24 KM/HR. A SLIGHT TURN
TOWARD THE WEST-SOUTHWEST IS FORECAST TONIGHT OR EARLY ON
SATURDAY…WITH A TURN BACK TO THE WEST EXPECTED BY SUNDAY. ON
THIS TRACK…IKE COULD BE NEAR THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS AND THE
SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS ON SUNDAY.

Josephine is still quite far away and looks unlikely to have any great impact on Florida.
