    Just me, or does thing seem to be coming slightly farther west than predicted? The turn doesn't seem to be as prominent as forecasted.

    Feels like fall today. I love it!

    Last couple of frames on radar almost seemed as if she was starting to move wnw a bit. Just my eyes, or anyone else notice it? Might just be a wobble.

    West side looks like its getting eroded by dry air.
  5. BooneWX
    I think the weakening is temporary. IR looks significantly better than the previous 8 hrs. Might not become a cat 4 again, but no reason to believe it can’t be a major hurricane at landfall.

    Yep! Not to mention that while it has the storm moving slow, it doesn’t stall it. Continues trucking west and most of the foothills, central mountains, and northern mountains get in on gusts ranging from 40-55mph (I’d assume a bit higher on mountain tops). Normally, we wouldn’t sweat it, but after getting completely washed for the 12-24 hrs before, we’d be absolutely screwed with trees, outages etc. Something that I haven’t mentioned in the other thread out of fear of getting roasted: the track suggesting a dramatic drift SW...just doesn’t make sense. I mean yes I understand the mechanics behind it with the ridge to the north, but idk. It’s so illogical. Seems more logical to assume the ridge isn’t quite that strong, the storm slows and rides the state line westward. It’s a very large storm, and I find it hard to believe it’s just halted and shoved so easily to the south. I really think the euro was on to something 36 hrs ago when it spelled out this solution (state line, west into wnc and tenn). Anyways, I guess we will see and hope for the best. I’m not letting my guard down. The storm has already reached a latitude higher than the nhc cone. She might be coming north fellas. Don’t let your guard down.

    The rain situation is starting to look very serious for all of us.

    Not to mention that if it can manage to speed up at all, or stall further west, we are in play for some gusty winds as well.
  9. BooneWX
    And just like that, unfortunately, we are back in it. 00Z suite would not spell good things for our area.

    Afternoon runs were definitely in our favor. I’m cautiously optimistic. Something that has me concerned is its strength and ability to turn. If it makes landfall as a 4, how easy will it be for the storm to turn north..?

    For days I've felt like this storm is going to take an abnormal path. I think we are all trying to apply way too much of the "it usually happens like this" logic for a storm that has been anything but logical to this point.

    Regardless of how people feel about him, I just watched Joe Bastardi's daily update, and he's with the Euro camp of having a landfall between Myrtle and Wilmington with it tracking towards the mountains. He's been spot on so far and was spot on with Gordon, so I'm not sure what to think.

    Absolute nightmare scenario for western N.C. I love weather but there’s zero part of me that wants to lose power for weeks and be in a Houston type of situation with flooding.
  14. BooneWX
    Wow. The trend was not in our favor overnight fellas. I hope this changes quickly. Euro output had 40+ inches of rain falling in our area. Not to mention that we would also be in the strongest winds now.
  15. BooneWX
    Took a peak at the potential wind gusts map from the Euro. 50-70 mph in NW NC with full foliage and 10 inches of rain?? Yikes.
  16. BooneWX
    Even then, it probably stays relatively close to the border and rakes all of NC with the worst side of the storm. A lot of lose-lose scenarios taking shape and it's a bit alarming.
  17. BooneWX
    Surprised nobody has chimed in regarding Florence possibly impacting us. What do you guys think? I’ve got a weird feeling about Florence going through SC and then inland. Could have impacts on us that we would all like to avoid (especially the northern mts).
  18. BooneWX
    I get a feeling that this storm is going to track towards an eventual landfall in SC and push inland. I don’t think the models are quite nailing down just how strong the high may be.
  19. BooneWX
    Whoa. I've been absent from the thread for too long. I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to drop in and ask if any of you have at-home weather stations. I'd really like to invest in one in the near future and I wanted to see if anyone had a particular suggestion.

    Summer, the most underrated part of mountain weather. The rest of the southeast bakes in 90+ degree weather and sultry humidity and most days are at worse, in the low 80s with some stickiness and a light breeze.

    x2. I was living in Mount Airy at the time. Unreal snow rates and I doubt I ever see snowfall rates like that again in my life. Measured 17 inches after the storm with some spots closer to 20.
