As the storm moves into North Carolina, we are expected to receive strong wind gusts throughout the duration of today with brief periods of heavy rain. While the center of Helene remains well to our west, an outer band moving through today will bring showers and thunderstorms with possible isolated tornadoes, brief heavy rainfall, and gusty winds. At this time, classes and operations are expected to remain on regular schedule. Forecasts can change rapidly and significantly so continue to monitor local news and ECU emergency communications.
