Too early to tell really, but based on the pressure readings of that particular model run, I'd guess Cat 1 or 2 hurricane. How much land interaction it encounters in the islands could be the ultimate determinant of that.
If that High Pressure builds back in stronger than advertised, I could see a Hugo type track. Not saying it would have the intensity that Hugo did though (Cat 4).
That would be 0.00 inches IMBY in Cornelius. We are that rain void right on the lake.
No rain here in over 3 weeks now.
Crunchy grass vibes.
My garden does not oblige.
Reminds me of Blowing Rock in November 2020.
The thickest fog I ever had the displeasure of driving through.
Blue Ridge Parkway from West Jefferson to Blowing Rock. Then 421 back.
The blocking comes just as the lineman looks back at the sacked and defeated dreams of a snowy NC winter QB lying on the ground as the clock strikes triple zeroes.
I've reached the acceptance phase.
Bring on the severe weather storm chasing!
Mother Nature owes me a waterspout that just hovers over Lake Norman and harms no one and destroys nothing.
Besides bemoaning the pathetic Piedmont winter that preceded it, it's all things watersports. Kayaking, paddleboarding, boating. Also have gotten into disc golf the last few years. Fortunate to have a really nice course within walking distance.
