Common questions
Is a hurricane coming to South Carolina right now?
No. There is no tropical storm or hurricane within 2,000 km of South Carolina at the latest National Hurricane Center advisory, and no system is active anywhere in the Atlantic basin. This page re-reads the advisories every thirty minutes.
When is hurricane season in South Carolina?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November. South Carolina is most exposed from August to October, which is when sea surface temperatures peak and most landfalls have historically occurred.
Does this page tell me whether to evacuate?
No, and nothing on it should be read that way. It reports where active storms are and which official watches and warnings are in force. Evacuation orders come from state and county emergency management, never from a tracker — follow them and not this page.
Where does this data come from?
Storm positions and intensities come from the National Hurricane Center advisory feed, reissued roughly every six hours and more often for systems near land. Watches and warnings come from the National Weather Service alerts API. Both are read live; distances are computed to the nearest point of the state, not to its centre.
