City officials gathered for an emergency council meeting on September 26, 2025, to discuss the potential impact of an approaching weather system, identified as future Imelda. The National Weather Service presented three scenarios regarding the storm's trajectory, emphasizing that none are more likely than the others, although scenario three is now considered less probable.

The first scenario suggests that the storm could affect areas from Savannah, Georgia, to the South Carolina-North Carolina border. The second scenario indicates that the storm may move toward Charleston, potentially stalling before veering off to the right. City officials highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the storm's path and intensity, which remains a critical factor in planning and response efforts.

As the storm approaches, residents can expect rainfall starting tomorrow, with forecasts predicting between half an inch to one and a half inches, and a possibility of localized areas receiving two to three inches. City leaders stressed the importance of staying informed as updates from the National Hurricane Center may provide clearer forecasts later in the day.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to public safety and preparedness in the face of unpredictable weather events. Officials urged residents to remain vigilant and to monitor updates as the situation develops.
