If we are lucky she will go through an ERC while passing over the warmest water.

Yeah. I had tomorrow at first. When I went to double check the info I pulled up0 an old link. Sorry about that. COLUMBIA — Gov. Henry McMaster will order evacuations along South Carolina’s entire 187-mile coastline border starting at noon Tuesday, saying residents and tourists must get out of Hurricane Florence’s potentially devastating path, according to several lawmakers briefed on the plans. The evacuations are expected to cover some areas inland prone to flooding, including Berkeley County and parts of Dorchester County. The eastbound lanes of Interstate 26 heading into Charleston and U.S. 501 into Myrtle Beach will be reversed when the order takes effect, opening all lanes to evacuees.

A stall could end up doing the most damage of the entire event.

The winds will also spread out.

I agree with this. I would only change your last phrase to, more of a flooding issue in addition to the winds.

The image of the Euro at 120 has what would be whatever is left of the eye directly over my house. I know it will change but it still got my attention.

Well, it beats a rectal insertion factor but not by much.

Just to clarify. It would be off-topic in a storm thread normally. However, we are a long way from an ongoing event and the information is useful for preparation so it is fine. Just don't ask about your generator as the eyewall is slamming into Charleston.

Think of the worst thunderstorm you have ever been in. Double the wind speed get ready for hours of it instead of minutes.

Not sure yet. I'll keep watching.

That was a separate executive order from the state of emergency. https://governor.nc.gov/news/gov-cooper-issues-emergency-orders-advance-storm-help-farmers

Good Lord. Governor Cooper has just issued a state of emergency. It is getting to the point where no one even pays attention because they issue a state of emergency every time a mosquito farts. A full week early is a bit much.

We better hope that the two possible systems trailing Florence don't develop and follow a similar path. One of my earliest weather memories was in 1955 when hurricane Connie went through and was quickly followed by hurricane Dianne. The flooding was horrendous

Admin is aware of the problem and it is being worked on. It's more complicated than it seems.

My streak of never having a 6 inch snowfall at my house is still in tact.... and i'm 32 years old. 4 Damn Kids.

5.75". Well damn. I've brushed more than that off my snowboard so I could begin measuring the main part of a storm.

And young people who say the same thing.

Nothing will reach the ground in Guilford. A few thousand feet above our head the dewpoint is -50.

I just sat here and quietly laughed.

Almost. People who wine most think they get the best snows.

Don't know, don't care.

Good advice.

Just for fun let me tell you the average snowfall for Antartica is less than Greensboro, NC.

math, math, math, math, math.

You guys are too young to remember the good old days before the interstates were finished. Storms were free to move around the SE as they wished resulting in more frequent and more evenly distributed snowfall. No sudden turns to follow the twin concrete ribbons to mess up a forecast back then. You could live wherever you wanted to and have a decent chance at snow. A simpler slower moving time where storms resulted in a couple of days off work to play in the snow instead of a state of emergency.* *This message sponsored by the Ghost of Snowstorms Past.
