Hurricane Matthew

Rain accumulations of 8 to 12 inches are possible from northeast South Carolina into northeast North Carolina and southeast Virginia, the National Hurricane Center says.

The National Hurricane Center says Matthew is a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. The strongest winds are so far staying offshore, but forecasters warn that could change.

The Category 4 storm dumped rain on southwestern Haiti on Tuesday morning and lashed the island with maximum sustained winds of up to 145 mph. The hurricane is continuing north toward Cuba.
