Last update: 11 hours agoHurricane Season Prep: NOAA says the 2026 Atlantic season is forecast to be below average (8–14 named storms), but South Carolinians are still urged to stay ready—there’s no “just a” storm, and the Carolinas remain a higher-risk target. Severe Weather Impacts: Upstate and parts of Northeast Georgia saw hail, downed trees, and power outages along the I-20 corridor, with more storm chances possible later.

Forest Service Restructuring: The U.S. Forest Service reorganization could close research facilities nationwide, but Western North Carolina’s research land and stations are reportedly spared—still, local groups worry about long-term science impacts.
