Little dicey Thursday afternoon.

If verified, would be some significant icing to occur 15th into 16th.

A few flakes and nothing sticks to the ground tonight for the metro. Too warm. Not sure we make it down freezing until tomorrow night

Final post for the night: Ratios should be low. Very wet snow

NAM has the HP in a better spot. Further southeast allowing for more suppression and cold air to keep our precip all snow.

I finally had a chance to look at the 12z Euro. It did come slightly southeast. However, 00z GFS went too far northwest. Windshield wiper in full effect.

I think everyone is trying to contain their excitement. All of the winter weather Wienies are trying to avoid early season disappointment. I haven’t looked at the 12z Euro yet. Any shift?? .

just for fun

Not really sure how this one works out like this. Nov 3-16 looks below average but the month overall looks to be warm. Must be a hell of a second-half heat wave coming in November

In pretty unique territory. One of 6 storms in history to form in the month of October and reach a pressure of 920 or lower. I believe landfall was made at 919. None made landfall anywhere close to that pressure. Wilma was 950 at landfall in Florida.

Look out Waynesburg .

I wish we had decent radar coverage over there. Would love to see the correlation coefficient. .

However, in the last few frames, it has really lost its wind speed. and the velocities showing up on radar don't support even a severe thunderstorm warning

The cell to the west of the airport showing some decent rotation.

Awesome. Thanks for setting this up. Will be great to have a place to go when the site crashes

Crankyweatherguy on twitter posted this. Thought it was interesting for all the “King Euro” lovers out there. Euro performed horribly on Florence the entire time. .

This buoy got marked as "suspect". The 112 Onslow Bay buoy is good data though

interesting direction over the last 4 hours

surprising considering what she looked like just a few hours ago. Maybe the result of the improved microwave imagery we saw

Winds currently 66mph at Cape Lookout. Gust to 77mph

extrapolation over the last 4 hours. Less than 10 mph and definitely not gaining latitude

First hurricane force gust recorded. 74mph from the Onslow Bay buoy

Bouy in Onslow Bay. Still waiting for the north winds

Onslow Bay Bouy wave size already up to 25ft
