NHC will initiate advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen, located offshore of the southeast coast of the United States, at 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC).

Been watching Mount Washington's weather, might be the most interesting thing going on. Currently showing winds at 72mph, gusts to 82 and 38F. Clouds are ripping across the summit.

52.2 for a morning low at 6:45am. May be awhile before I see this again.

I found this to be a great pictorial and graphical article: Hurricane Florence 5 years on - Collaboration of NWS Morehead City, Raleigh, and Wilmington: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c77c7dd5e79b406581168c8073a08060

.41" from Idalia. Small twigs in the yard, no problem for the lawnmower. Hoping to go below 60 the next two nights and maybe even have a fire!

Heard from my family in Valdosta - text only, FaceTime and voice calls aren't going through. Homes are destroyed.

I have family in NW Valdosta, they're reporting flooding and some road closures. They still have power, but are in a newer development and not really in a rural area.

Family is reporting flooding in Valdosta.

Another Tornado Warning for the Marco Island, FL area, this one until 2pm. edit: another one just north, covering most of the Collier County coast. earlier the local news station was on scene in Ft. Myers Beach, i would say about 6-10" of water on the roads.

99.6 at 4:05pm - the highest of August so far. 10 days with no measurable rain.

96.6 at 3:20pm. Not bad considering the calls for 99+ earlier this week.

50's showing up for lows in the RDU area late next week. Maybe... maybe I can actually enjoy an Octoberfest with some October-ish temps.

5pm advisory out. They'll likely be strong currents and waves for the east coast coming up. Already seeing 6-10' wave forecasts offshore OBX.

98.2 at 2:39pm

Yesterday: RDU hit 100, but it only got to 96.5 IMBY. .22" of rain, enough for the garden. 68.9 this morning before the drive in to work, felt amazing, windows were down.
