That spin up hit a mile away from where I live.

Been off and on rapidly moving heavy bands, wasn't aware a spin up occurred just a mile away until it was all over the news. It was tornado warned though. Quite an interesting day, despite not much wind so far but that'll change within the couple hours or so

Tornado in Goose Creek from a band. Happened on St James Ave near US52. This is less than a mile from where I'm at. https://widgets.burst.com/fd2cb8d6

At 2 PM strongest winds I saw came from St Simon's, GA.. S 33 gust to 59!

The ERC just before landfall had a hand in a quicker spin down than first anticipated, and not the feared to be rapidly deepening thru landfall scenario.

Yeah, once more cells erupted on the sea breeze front to its SW, it choked it off. The seabreeze boundary gave rise to a spike in helicity. I did see another clip posted from WCIV and it appeared there was a brief touchdown. No question, the rounds and rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms, particularly in Berkeley County served to dump anywhere from 3"-6" of rain on Doppler radar estimates. The lightning yesterday was prolific..

Absolutely insane day in Goose Creek today. No less than 8 cells blasting thru... One hailer, non stop lightning basically since 6pm... My friend caught the Moncks Corner large wall cloud/possible tornado on video today and yesterday, the Summerton, SC tornado... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBVrEJTjupM The guy caught outside was actually trapped. It was at Black Creek Golf Course and the clubhouse was locked so he was forced to ride it out for dear life...

Flight level winds and winds down but appears recon still finding pressures in the 930mb range... Insane..

galliano, LA is in the moat right now. jokko is obviously reporting in kilometers.. the conversion makes sense to miles from his numbers. Galliano, LA had an 11mb pressure fall in 1 hour. 29.00" (982mb) at noon CDT to 28.67" (971mb) at 1pm CDT

Coming soon . He's in the moat right now in between the 2 eyewalls.

I don't doubt it... Charleston SC had a thunderstorm with heavy rain at 41... Back here in Goose Creek at work, 39° with same heavy rain/thunderstorm..

Yes. The bend back supposed to start later. Magic number is 34.0°N now...also could be everything determining an actual landfall versus a skirt on SE NC

From 11am to 2pm. Florence moved .2°N to .5°W and looks like she continues to slow down and bend left. NHC official plot line is 34°N INLAND... Florence may not even make it to 34°N now... all the guidance to some degree show a WSW component. Very critical downstream on effects in SC.

Yes, the simulated IR Satellite has a large cluster/blob of rather disorganized convection due to shear

Yes that would an understatement. This was unfortunately the exact solution I was worried about early this morning considering the disturbing trends that have developed since last night's 00z run whichI assume had more upper air soundings and data.

Last pass of RECON found 143kt winds on the S Eyewall per dropsonde.

Yes. Latest WV to my eyes seems to have ridging trying to build NW of Bermuda as opposed to N

Florence has been moving practically due west the last 6 hours...straddling 25.0°N. For those wondering about how unusual this scenario is with Florence, interesting graphics were produced several days ago... On Sept 5...only a few impacted the US where Florence was on this date. A few days later, a new graphic from I believe Weather Underground showed since 1851, 67 storms passing within 200 miles of Florence... ZERO made a US impact... Florence likely will be rewriting the rulebook.

That explains it a bit...Always missing one or more ingredients to bake a masterpiece .

Saw that and I think that is pretty spot on. Also just saw WPC experimental day 4 outlining 10% chances with greater than .25" liquid equivalent frozen/snow highlighted from northern SC thru Central/Eastern NC on their Winter Weather graphics. The CMC/GFS differences at 250mb are very subtle with the jet streak...

The 12z GFS has an intensifying screaming jet at 66 thru 84 at 250mb. Precip seems rather meager with such a jet enhancement...
