One thing that concerns me a little bit is how pronounced this CAD is on all models already. CAD usually strengthens within 48 hours. This is early in the season so we will see if that still holds true this time.
Get use to seeing that this winter. Plenty of moisture and a 1035 H in NY. You get that look in Jan and it’s lights out east of the blue ridge with the CAD.
Crazy day here. Many creeks and a river out of their banks here already. 3.12 as the storm total so far and the storm hasn’t arrived yet. Our local NWS said 3-4 would be the total rain for this event. Oy.
This is different than most storms for two reasons. The forward speed once inland and the fact that the worst of this storm could be on the NW side versus the typical east side.
Not off to a good start here from this pre storm rain. Tropical downpours here this morning led to a lot of accidents on US 221. A good 8 mile chunk of the road in the county is shutdown due to multiple accidents.
Whoever gets in on the band that develops on the NW side of this storm is going to get plastered. That looks to be somewhere in N.C. piedmont based on the 12Z runs today so far.
Oh yeah definitely not but it did flood, sad to say it’s almost become the norm this year to see a flood warning for a portion of the Catawba but when you have over 70 inches or rain YTD in September I guess that’s to be expected lol.
