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:

97.9 imby. On the subject of RDU, the airport consistently reports max temp readings 3-4 degrees above what I see. They broke 100 today and we were not particularly close 

EDIT: RDU broke 102 today!

Same here, RDU is about 2-3 degrees above my readings. High of 97.4 at 2:45pm.

Going to be a bumpy ride for recon. Hopefully they don’t end up in a Hugo situation — which occurred during a period of RI.

Recon is airborne.

Calling it - high of 100.1 at 4:55pm.

High of 99.2 at 4:58pm

.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.

Everything good in Valdosta?

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.

I certainly hope this is the last heatwave we see. Football starts in a weekish and there’s nothing better than football, fire and food

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.
