    Just a question how effective are the 850 winds at filtering down to the surface in a extra tropical scenario vs a normal tropical cyclone? Looking at the 10m winds it doesn't seem like many are getting to the surface. But obviously wouldn't take much. 

    925 is more of what you're looking for.

    Looks like another backdrop front next weekend (10/5) but no relief from humidity on the horizon according to the 06z gfs. 

    Setting up to potentially be an all time warm month, even if the back half of October is just normal.

    I know we've heard the name Hugo a few times with this one, but if the Euro is anywhere near correct, this would be far, far worse than Hugo for WNC with the flooding.

    Yeah. I think the winds would actually not be as big of an issue because she's just so slow. People forget that Hugo made it to Charlotte six hours after landfall.

    You have got to stop with the Hugo comparisons.  Hugo went through the leeward islands north and then west and slammed into Charleston and rocketed west and then north.  If we have learned anything from models runs,  one single one shouldn't be taken as gospel.

    As someone who lived through Hugo, I swear I don’t know what he’s seeing. You’re right though, every storm is it’s own storm.

    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

    Funny this is the 100 year anniversary of the 1918 flood.

    Welcome to the neighborhood sir!

    Thanks man! I’ve been on a roll lately, hope I brought the mojo. I couldn’t convince the girlfriend to live in Hillsborough or Roxboro.

    Your in west Durham?

    Yes sir, about two miles from the OrCo line, just off 751.
