When will SC Gov. Henry McMaster and Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office hold their next briefings on Irma?

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will give another press briefing on Hurricane Irma at 6 p.m. Friday.

The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office also announced Friday afternoon that it will be holding a press conference at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

At a 2 p.m. press conference on Friday, McMaster said he was delaying the final decision on an evacuation order until he receives more information from the National Weather Service.

He also advised coastal residents to still be prepared for an evacuation starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, but that may or may not take place, the governor said.

According to the National Hurricane Center’s 2 p.m. update, Beaufort County sits outside of Hurricane Irma’s “cone of uncertainty,” but effects, such as high winds, tides and storm surges, could still be seen in the area.

A representative from the S.C. Emergency Management Division said areas of Charleston County have already seen some flooding from higher-than-normal tides.
