Is it too much to ask for a storm to actually produce for peeps along and SOUTH of I-85? Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly content with the FV3 and the love it is giving to most of the of us, even down to Atlanta. But time after time I have seen these storms completely screw us last minute. And btw, it's okay that the MA and NE are left out of this one. They will get their Noreaster's at some point during this winter. If we even get half of what the FV3 clown maps are showing, I would be perfectly content.

Brad is simply amazing. I have never seen a met who is as dedicated and explains weather as he does. Winds have definitely been a bit gustier than I would have anticipated by this time. I wouldn't be surprised to see gusts over 50 MPH, especially tomorrow as the storm moves closer. I got a feeling we will be seeing lots of trees down by Sunday evening. Given that Charlotte could be looking at 1,000-year rainfall event. GSP even bumped the totals to over 10 inches with isolated 15 in some places near and east of I-77.

The NWS in GSP says 10-15 inches across the CLT metro. Either way that's a lot of rain. They seem to be going pretty conservative with winds though.

I fixed my previous statement. I was a little wrong on that regard. Lol.

I'm sorry, but can the mods not get involved and get some of these "wishcasters' relocated to the banter forum? It really muddies everything up and makes this board unreadable. It's a large storm that is beginning to weaken as she interacts with land. She may regain a little strength, but there is no model that has this storm continuing a NW path. It's going to wobble NW back to the W. And probably to the WSW or SW soon, based on current model projections.

Not sure if this is Spectrum news in-house model but it shows some pretty gusty winds for the whole state. That’ll definitely bring down some trees. .

Can we stop it with this tomfoolery already? You're from NC, obviously. And they aren't wishcasting. The GFS has sorta been an outliner this whole time. It's hard to go against the Euro and most the hurricane modeling guidance. Not the mention the NHC.

Yup, it's beginning to make that turn for sure. Brad P's latest VLOG mentioned she's already moving west and even mentioned possible jumps to the SW.

It appears that she is already moving more to the west. Almost every model has her moving W then WSW. Now she may not make "hard south turn", but it's hard to go against modeling when there seems to be a general consensus.

Per TWC Charlotte is on the edge of where power outages are likely. Granted it is TWC, but something I hope doesn't come to fruition.

I believe they had that up yesterday. The county next to me has the same forecast as well. I am sure it'll be adjusted as the forecast continues to change. But you should never let your guard completely up. Although models really seem to have come to a general consensus.

Seeing how large the cone of uncertainty is, I don't think anything is off the table. However, a northern route is looking less and less likely as of now. How did the NAM do during Irma? I don't remember so any input would be great!

Banter?

I’m content on no snow and cold if it means the MA and NE miss out. I know that climatology speaking it’s a lot easier for them to get big snows. But I am so tired of watching these storms giving us the middle finger, just to dump 2 feet to the north of us. We’re so overdue.
