Elsa is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to the Interstate 95 corridor of Georgia and South Carolina starting later Wednesday. Tropical rains and gusty winds are possible overnight into Thursday morning for South Carolina and North Carolina.

The main threats from Elsa are heavy rain, gusty winds, and an isolated tornado.

For the first time since 2019, flooding in Charleston Saturday prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flash Flood Warning.

The South Carolina coastal city is no stranger to flooding. The city's downtown historic district typically floods during heavy rains - but as heavy rains caused floodwaters to rise and push into downtown businesses, including the Historic Charleston City Market, exceptional flooding occurred beyond what has become all-too-normal.

This week, we're looking at how this flooding is different than past flooding - and what can be done to help the residents, businesses, and tourists.

We'll chat with a resident who was an eyewitness to flooding that occurred Saturday, and again on Tuesday, during severe storms.

We'll also talk about severe thunderstorms that produced damaging winds in the form of microburst and macrobursts in both North Carolina and South Carolina.

Plus a look at the Atlantic tropical outlook, which has a tropical system likely to form in the Gulf of Mexico before bringing tropical moisture to the Southeast.

Millions of students across the country missed important opportunities to learn from in-person internships or from job shadow programs.

WCNC Charlotte has partnered with the Charlotte Area Association of Black Journalists and the CSB Media Arts Center, Charlotte, to make a difference by helping fill that knowledge gap by introducing juniors and seniors in high school as well as college students to the many career pathways available at their local television stations.

The staff at WCNC Charlotte have put together elaborate presentations to mimic what a student would learn in a day of shadowing someone in a local newsroom or on a sales team or marketing the station.

The week of June 7 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., different departments will outline what their jobs are like, what it took for them to get to where they are, and what students should do to get themselves prepared for a similar career.

Emergency management is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. Emergency management seeks to promote safer, less vulnerable communities with the capacity to cope with hazards and disasters, such as severe weather. Emergency Management protects communities by coordinating and integrating all activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made disasters.

Our guest this week:

Ashley Morris, an emergency manager from the metropolitan area of Baltimore County, Virginia, and former Carolina Weather Group panelist

Felix A Nance, an emergency manager from rural Hominy, Oklahoma
