BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Due to the potential for severe weather resulting from Tropical Storm Nicole, BCSD students will learn from home and complete eLearning day assignments on Friday, Nov. 11.
All schools and offices will be closed, school officials said.
Tropical Storm Nicole will weaken and turn toward the northwest over Florida on Thursday. Nicole is then expected to weaken further to a tropical depression as it turns northeast and passes west of the region late tonight into Friday.
Expect multiple hazards across the area, well north and east of Nicole`s center. Major coastal flooding and significant beach erosion is occurring this morning along portions of the coast and will gradually subside Thursday afternoon. Another round of minor coastal flooding is possible with high tides this evening and again Friday morning.
Locally heavy rainfall will develop later this morning and afternoon and continue into the overnight hours. Meanwhile, conditions will become favorable for a few tornadoes by late today and will persist into Friday.
Tropical storm force wind gusts 40 to 50 mph will continue on Thursday, mainly along the immediate coast.
Then, tropical storm force wind gusts could occur within any showers that cross the region
later today, through tonight and into Friday.
Finally, expect dangerous marine and surf conditions and significant beach erosion to
continue until late Friday.
