Hello, I'm a long time lurker and infrequent poster here and I've been following the discussion here
on Florence. I will be very interested to see if the newest Euro model run follows what seems to be
the trend on some of the other models, in particular, the GFS which has stalled Florence near the
Outer Banks for its last two runs. The last Euro run showed a Fran type track which would spell
disaster for the Raleigh area where I live. I am still hoping is that Florence will turn more north and
further out to sea but unless it strengthens more rapidily than forecast or the high pressure ridge
is weaker, it looks like North Carolina is in for a hard time later this week. I know today's forecast
models aren't gospel, especially four to five days out, but it looks like NC will not be able to dodge
Hurricane Florence and its effects.
