MONDAY TOGETHER WITH YOU

Good morning Wilmington!

I hope you were able to enjoy one of the many festive celebrations over the weekend.

It’s looking like we have two systems on the radar. The first one is following Ian’s path through Florida’s gulf. It sound like this system has a high probability of being a hurricane of significant–strength making landfall in Florida on Wednesday/Thursday.

The current models for the second disturbance show it heading north with little probability of landfall. Of course this could change.

In today’s Port City Pulse:

• Staffers Resign from Mark Robinson's Gubernatorial Campaign Amid Controversy

• Leland to Host Storm Recovery Meeting

• Trump Campaigns in Wilmington
