Hello! Ana is now making landfall at the South Carolina and North Carolina boarder. As she makes her way onto land she will start to lose strength. As of right now she is moving north at 5mph. Wind speeds have dropped to 40mph. The minimum central pressure is now rising to 1004 MB. I hope that the people that are impacted by her are safe right now and hope that Ana won't cause to much damage.

Ana is still moving inland. This time she is moving north-northeast at 8 mph. Wind speeds still at 35 mph. Central minimum now at 1007 MB. The National Hurricane Center is no longer going to be releasing advisories on Ana. This is the last few steps for Ana folks. The results of her will appear on the website as soon as possible and on here. People who live in the predicted path of Ana, look at the picture of her predicted path, to be ready for rain from the remnants of Ana. All warnings and watches are no longer in effect.
The chance for another storm to form before the season officially starts is unlikely. It could happen but the chance is really low.
