Yes, it looks like the model wants the storm to travel against the gulf stream current.

Then the upwelling would still be some mighty warm water.

Another pretty crazy Euro run with the center meandering 5-10 miles offshore, while the NE quad scours the coast from Jacksonville to Wilmington and then beyond. Storm a little weaker on its SW drift compared to yesterday, probably reasonable given upwelling.

Isn't that path off of SC right over the gulf stream?

Carteret County NC is under mandatory evacuation beginning Tuesday. Pamlico County mandatory evacuations also starts tomorrow at 3pm. Both are for the entire county, all cities and towns.

Out of the surge and into the flood.
