A look at the Thursday #Sunrise over Hurricane #Florence, spinning less than 200 miles off of the coast of #NCwx. Gives you a good sense of the pure size of the storm. Impacts will be wide reaching, so don't take the threats lightly! More info: https://t.co/2SQKH6G0vB
For the Triangle, the time period of strongest winds will likely be around Midnight through 8pm tomorrow. 40-50mph gusts possible, potentially isolated gusts 50-60mph. Winds will stay up through the weekend, but gusts will probably be more in the 30-45mph range.

Remember, the NHC folks know all of this and are accounting for it.
But if you want to peek behind the curtain a bit, this is good stuff.
Here's a glimpse inside NWS Raleigh's forecast center. All hands are on-deck, discussing and collaborating on the forecast to provide residents of central North Carolina with critical life-saving information as Hurricane Florence threatens to impact our area. #ncwx
The Ocean Cleanup's first cleanup system, System 001, is now on route into the Pacific Ocean. Follow our progress over the next months as we head to the middle of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Playing with variables to determine the ideal scenario for cloud formation. Does the ocean need to be warm or cold? How about the sky? If you’re curious, ask an @StTimsRaleigh 4th grader to find out!
3rd graders kicked off their plant unit today by making root viewers! Hopefully in a few days we’ll see some starting to emerge from our radish seeds.🤞🏼🌱 @StTimsRaleigh
Third graders are using what we’ve learned about electricity and circuits to design their own switches and “alarms!” #engineeringiselementary@STSScienceLab
Kindergarten scientists practice the important skill of observing! The attention today was on the our pet goldfish. Some were apparently hungrier than others 😜. @StTimsRaleigh
Kindergarten scientists had a blast learning about dinosaurs 🦕 in Science Lab! We wrapped up the unit by making our own dino fossils. They turned out great! @STSScienceLab
Where do seeds come from? Some popular answers included “Lowe’s,” “The Seed Store,” and “from Mrs. Morgan.” Today we discovered that seeds actually come from plants, and we tried to dig out as many as we could from cucumbers, tomatoes and lemons! @AdcockMadcock@gardengirl266
Mixed feelings about our mold experiment in 4th grade.... Although we know fungi 🍄 play an essential role in ecosystems, they can get pretty smelly👃🙅🏻♀️! @StTimsRaleigh
