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

\\n

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.
