Hurricane Florence is expected to make landfall in the Carolinas either on Thursday evening or Friday morning, according to a report by weather.com Thursday morning.

While the system has been downgraded from a Category 4 to a Category 2 hurricane, Florence is still a dangerous storm expected to produce flash flooding and heavy winds, creating major damage.

The National Hurricane Center said that despite the downgrade "the wind field of the hurricane continues to grow in size."

"This evolution will produce storm surges similar to that of a more intense, but smaller, hurricane, and thus the storm surge values seen in the previous advisory are still valid," the National Hurricane Center added.
