The eye is almost closed. Maybe 75% of the way there at the moment. It definitely seems like it’s stopped ingesting dry air and may be close to sealing the core off. Impressive velocities appearing on radar in the primitive eye wall.
-
High winds and surge or not, Debby is already going to be one for the record books across the southeast. SC and Georgia - likely portions of NC as well, are going to see historic levels of flooding. This storm is looking like it’ll be a less sexy version of Hurricane Floyd.
-
Wet week ahead. Debby will help us knock out several would-be dog days. Fall is getting close… that first cold front with low dew points is really going to be welcomed after the summer we’ve had.
-
Great post! This is going to be the biggest forum wide weather maker we’ve had in a while.

Classic pre-boom shrimp look

So…it’s got that look

Assuming this doesn’t blow up in the gulf and become a much bigger event than expected for the Big Bend, Charleston will be ground zero. The place floods during average thunderstorms and the models are honing in on a foot+.
-
Earlier, yes, but the area south of Cuba certainly looks more impressive now.
-
You can make out a twist in the blob east of the Caymans now
-
I’m wondering the same thing, but equally, does it feel the weakness to the north as soon if it’s much further south? It seems like if it can consolidate there, we’d be more likely to see more wnw movement and less interaction with Cuba - likely only the low elevation western tip.
-
If the center is indeed over water at this point, guidance is going to be playing catch up majorly. The blowup of convection to the east of the Caymans is worrisome. It’s been consistent for hours and it makes me wonder if a new llc may end up becoming dominant in that location.

10.24 inches in July! The summer of have’s and have not’s continues. A foot of rain in May followed by almost nothing in June and nearly a foot in July.
-
That was the worst storm we’ve had in our new home. Lightning hit the house or very close to it around 8. Luckily I haven’t seen anything alarming so far but my landscape lighting is temporarily fried until I can get a new low voltage transformer installed. .83 inches of rain over about a 20 min period.
-
Good soaking rain today, we really needed it. The thunderstorms have been great but I always think you lose a ton of water when it’s coming down at such heavy rates.
-
These are really efficient storms today
-
4.27” this week. The first week with over an inch since mid-May.

Blessings. Lost a lot of fescue to get here but maybe this will ease the pain a bit. what are you guys doing these days grass wise? My yard has become a hobby over the years but these past two summers have worn me out with fescue. I have a baby at home and time just really doesn’t allow me to water it correctly and apply the fungicide needed. I can’t do Bermuda thanks to a shady backyard but thinking about Texas Bluegrass (southern hybrid to Kentucky bluegrass).

You know it’s bad when TV Mets are billing relief as temps falling to the low 90s
-
Hell on earth type of summer unfolding for everyone - even us foothill folks to your west. Glad yall will get some much needed rain this week, just don’t hog it all and be sure to share with the rest of the forum.
-
Also curious - where does this summer rank for you guys? We’re mid way through July and if next weeks temperatures verify, I’m getting close to crowning this as the worst and hottest summer I’ve seen.
-
Had a little over a half an inch on Sunday - the most since mid-May. It’s not nearly enough when we’re pushing 100 every single day of the week. My yard dying out sucks but I really feel for the farmers. I don’t think I’ve seen a corn crop look as pitiful as what I’ve seen the past few days in my life.
-
It’s getting that shrimp look -
Plenty of time for this storm. It’s easy to forget it went from PTC to Hurricane in 24 hrs. It’s working with absolute jet fuel ocean water and it looks like it’s becoming stacked again and resisting the surge of dry air. Odds are a cat 1/2 but we’ve seen the RI in the gulf episodes too often to think it doesn’t have a shot at something higher. Hope folks in East Texas are paying attention.

Aside, can anyone educate me as to why sea surface temps are always consistently cooler just off the northern Yucatán?
