A coastal storm developing east of Wilmington, North Carolina will keep things on the windy side for the next 24 to 48 hours as it drifts west.  This is not tropical as of yet, but may become a tropical or subtropical system as it drifts westward. 

We’ll see windy conditions, beach erosion, high tides and strong rip currents.  Thursday will bring a better chance of showers, especially along the north coastal counties.  Highs will be in the lower to mid 70’s.

We will keep you advised on this storm here and on the air during our broadcasts tonight.

Busy couple of days with Air Force duty and Channel 5 weathercasts.  The Charleston Air Force Base honored our POW/MIA’s over the last few days and was a great tribute to those who served and suffered for our country and freedoms.  I was honored to meet some of these great people and wish them well.  It’s important that we take care of our veterans and our local VA does a fantastic job at that.

Getting ready to go “HD” on Monday!!  That means if you have a high definition television, you will see a great difference in the picture quality of our newscasts.  We will be the FIRST station to go “HD” in the Charleston market.  It really is an amazing difference when you look at HD.  We even had to have special make-up lessons and they gave us these little spray guns to spray the stuff on your face.  They’re small, little devices that use a power box and spray a “make-up mist” all over the face.  In Bill Sharpe’s case, we had to get him a Wagner Power Sprayer!! 

Should be fun on Monday with the new look, logo and HD.  Hope you tune in for that and, of course, tonight as we keep track of that pesty coastal storm.

Have a great night!

Bill
