The National Weather Service (NWS) is forecasting potential severe weather to enter the Wilmington area later this evening and remain in the area through tomorrow, Tuesday, October 11. One to two inches of rain is expected tonight, along with strong wind gusts and up to an additional inch of rain in the morning hours.

Use extra caution when traveling to and on campus. Be aware of possible hazardous conditions in areas prone to flooding such as the intersection of Reynolds and Cahill Dr., New Centre Drive, Racine Drive, Seahawk Landing, Honors Hall Parking Lot and Parking Lot E. Some of these areas may be closed to traffic if heavy rain occurs. As a precaution, you may wish to relocate your vehicle from these flood-prone areas.

Conditions may be more hazardous for those traveling into Wilmington from outlying areas. Leave extra time to make commutes and do not attempt to drive through standing water.
