The forecast for Hurricane Florence continues to grow more grim by the moment with forecasters predicting a prolonged event for the Carolinas.

Computer models take Florence straight to the Carolina coastline, but then they differ a little bit on where it will make landfall.

FOX 13 meteorologist Dave Osterberg says "A Category 4 storm making landfall in the Carolinas could produce a 15- to 20-foot storm surge.”

Once Florence moves inland, there will be another problem. It will most likely stall. That could mean prolonged rains and flooding.
