The center of Tropical Storm Ana officially made landfall at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.\u00a0 Ana was officially a tropical storm at the time of landfall with maximum sustained winds of 45 m.p.h.\u00a0 This is one of the earliest landfalls of a tropical storm in the U.S. in the historical record.\u00a0 Ana moved inland slowly and it has weakened to a tropical depression.\u00a0 At 2:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday the center of Tropical Depression Ana was located at latitude 34.1\u00b0N and longitude 78.9\u00b0W which put it about 30 miles north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.\u00a0 Ana was moving toward the northeast at 5 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. and there were gusts to 45 m.p.h.\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1006 mb.\u00a0 The Tropical Storm Warning for the portion of the coast from South Santee River, South Carolina to Cape Lookout, North Carolina has been discontinued.<\/p>\n
The slow movement of Ana is creating the potential for locally heavy rain.\u00a0 There has been some beach erosion as well, but generally the impacts have been minor.\u00a0 An upper level trough approaching from the west is expected to steer Ana back out into the Atlantic.\u00a0 However, strong vertical wind shear and cool Sea Surface Temperatures are expected to prevent significant redevelopment when Ana moves back over water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
