    Luckily I’m not forecasting lol.

    I’m guessing the winds as it moves north may be skewed more east by the time it gets to ATL latitude. At least I hope.

    One thing to think about is that you need to be east of the eye and not just center for strong winds. So if the eye is large, and it passes over say TLH….theyll get raked, but it will be eastern suburbs that get it. It’s one reason why I think TLH and ATL won’t be on the worst side. Well at least I hope.

    I saw that lol.

    Gfs still stubborn

    Yep. Tropical models usually work best. This will be interesting.

    I also was under the impression that some are also new and these plots are positions extracted from the grib files etc. The HWRF shown on that is definitely different compared to the 12z runs. Admittedly though I'm not 100% sure how those early runs are collected.

    Not much of a move on the 18z tropical models. Maybe a tad more spread to the E, but overall pretty consistent location wise.

    I didn't zoom in or anything, but NHC track at 11a seemed close to the tropical models at 12z. I generally follow the tropical models..but you have some good globals now still to the east. If I had to guess, NHC may ever so slightly adjust E at 5p.

    Man tough call. I also feel like I would take the NHC track and nudge it east too..but the differences in impacts are literally night and day.

    For Atlanta and Tallahassee it will really come down to track. NHC track is bad, but it would not shock me if we get some east ticks. So for Atlanta, if it moves east of the city, winds on the west side will be strong, but 40-55 vs 75+ is a huge difference. The inv trough that starts to set up after Helene makes landfall will help keep the LLJ on east side of the low. So we are talking massive differences in wind at both locations depending on track.

    Don't forget overestimating gusts by 75%.

    Andy! Didn't know you were in ATL now. Hope all is well, bud.

    I was driving up rt 16 back in like 2012 around Chocorua Lake in NH. There was about 5-6 buses stopped with people from India literally in awe. They seemed like they were taken aback by what they saw. Taking pictures, stopping traffic and everything. Looked like many were praying too. So yeah, goes to your point.

    Foliage up north is always awesome to see. Love that time of year.
  17. CoastalWx
    WTF?
  18. CoastalWx
    Foliage is meh all around it seems.
  19. CoastalWx
    The land friction will probably cause some issues with wobbling etc for a few hours.

    Needs to get away from the Yucatan for more rapid strengthening. Later today and tonight.
  21. CoastalWx
    That area from ATL to the N and NE are gonna get a shitload of rain. Big issues there I think especially foothills and mtns.
  22. CoastalWx
    Yeah was going to say, visible shows convection wrapping around, but IR kind of shows the illusion of the center closer to land and south. Microwave imagery helps here.
  23. CoastalWx
    Regarding the pressure, it's also possible the environmental air pressure is relatively low, which is why we have a 979mb TS.
  24. CoastalWx
    TLH could be in for a blow
  25. CoastalWx
    East side of this has a great outflow look.
