  1. The comparisons to Hugo are pretty apt I think. Strengthening on the way in, booking along, and liable to hit a major metro area far inland hard. 

    EDIT: One thing I just thought of, Hugo didn't seem to have a big affect on the southern Appalachians? I mean, like Helene is gonna blast them with.

    Hwy 106 between Dillard and Highlands is about to washout

    If that's the road I'm thinking of, it's dicey in the best of circumstances. Couldn't pay me enough to travel on it now.

    (I used to co-own some property in Highlands so I'm a bit familiar with the area.)

    Seems a little less dramatic than it looked earlier. But it was still coming down pretty hard on my morning Dunkin run. 

    I have an issue with water seepage in my basement, and am a firm believer in the superstition that if you mention something unpleasant enough, it won't happen, so every time there's a heavy rain, then like Pavlov's dogs, I drool "June 2006."

    Hate to say it...but the radar this morning is giving me June 2006 vibes with the linear and look. It is POURING here right now. If there's not some dissipation or movement of the firehose - there's going to be issues this morning....

    Yeah, usually this kind of overnight activity is one and done. This is the third period of heavy rain in an hour or so. I think this is related to the PRE to our south that's setting the table for the dangerous flooding in the southern Apps from the tropical system.  I'd call it a PRE here but it seems decidedly uncertain at this point just how much of Helene's remnants affect the *immediate* DC weather.

  5. Pretty heavy nocturnal rain shower in up nw. In fact, very heavy. Saw some flashes of lightning earlier but didn't hear thunder. 

    Used to own some property in Western NC, near Highlands. I would not want to be there for the next 48 hours. There are some rather hairy mountain roads around there; I can't imagine trying to negotiate them in the kind of conditions they're forecasting. And it's not too often you see Eastern WFOs talk about the possibilities of landslides.

    Good stuff, though I’d like to see some better defense rather than the recent sloppy infield play.

    And I'd like to see the pitcher attrition rate diminish somewhat from that seen on the Western Front of WW1.

    Pretty healthy cg lightning nearby.

    Just had the first real light-tower action in up nw. 

    Some gusty winds as an overture, but the T&L didn't start kicking in until 15 minutes or so after the heavy rain commenced.
