Episode description

Located off the coast of Wilmington, Tropical Depression Fifteen is luckily moving away from land.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. The depression is not forecast to strengthen much, but it could become a tropical storm on Tuesday. When it does, it will be given the name Nana. Little, if any, additional strengthening is forecast thereafter, and a weakening trend is expected to begin on Wednesday night. James Brierton has the updated forecast from our Charlotte studio.

Plus, a new survey finds more North Carolinians are troubled by the effects of climate change on hurricane season.
