Can someone link it? I don’t have it saved.
Ian definitely build a nice surge on its north side based on buoy readings I have been looking at. That easterly fetch with the high pressure gradient is a very rare setup this far south. Something more like you would see in New England during some of the classic nor’easters. Sc is going to be another major damage area. As JM and I have noted as we both lived in Long Beach Ny, salt water flooding in itself is a disaster as you need to gut down to the studs to properly repair

I was just about to mention this. Lots of planes in the air doing surveys per FlightRadar24. US Customs is also out over the Gulf, my guess is debris survey or stranded boaters.

I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing another Ian ever. Have to be getting low on I names at this point.

I just hear the term "Orlando's gonna get coned" on TWC. I've heard "in the cone" but not "coned".

Been bone dry in Raleigh for weeks. We can soak it up.

Last measurable rain IMBY was Sept 12th. Only 1.52" for the month so far. Not bothering aerating the lawn, it's hard as a rock.

I can't help but notice how much more prominent Cape Coral is on maps these days, even on RadarScope. When I was there many moons ago, I remember it being a big deal that Cape Coral got it's name on an I-75 exit sign.

FWIW I was in Morrisville/Briar Creek this afternoon and the Apple Watch said 97... not sure if that data came from KRDU though. High of 96 at the house in south Cary, I can believe 98.
No precip recorded today IMBY, only some good breezes. Currently 76 and falling.
Closer to the coast, nasty looking "S" shaped cell near NWS Newport right now. Should make for some interesting winds and waves tomorrow.

High of 96 at 2:10pm. Currently 89 and waiting for either some showers or outflow. Not hopeful for much badly needed precipitation. Last measurable amount was .06" on September 12th.

The NHC's "squished-Mercator-ish" map (I'm no cartographer) looks really weird when it has to be stretched from the mid-Atlantic to the Arctic Circle. I also noticed they didn't bother marking the wind speed probabilities above 60N. First time I think I've seen that cutoff.

From Canadian Hurricane Centre: 4-8" of rain and 30+ foot waves in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
Quote....
Fiona expected to impact Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec with heavy rainfall and powerful hurricane force winds for the start of the weekend.
.....
2. Public weather impacts and warnings summary.
This storm is shaping up to be a potentially severe event for Atlantic Canada. Numerous weather models are quite consistent in their prediction of what we call a deep hybrid low pressure system, possessing both tropical and intense winter storm-type properties (but with very heavy rainfall and severe winds).
The latest forecast guidance brings hurricane Fiona off-shore to the south of Nova Scotia Friday night, passing through eastern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Saturday, and then reaching the Lower Quebec North Shore and Southeastern Labrador early Sunday. Severe winds and rainfall will have major impacts for eastern Prince Edward Island, eastern Nova Scotia, western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec, and southeastern Labrador. There will also be large waves, especially for the Atlantic coasts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and eastern portions of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Finally, there is a high likelihood of storm surge for parts of Nova Scotia, Gulf of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland.
a. Wind.
Most regions will experience some hurricane force winds. These severe winds will begin impacting the region late Friday and continue on Saturday. Similar cyclones of this nature have produced structural damage to buildings. Construction sites may be particularly vulnerable. Wind impacts will likely be enhanced by foliage on the trees, potentially causing prolonged utility outages
b. Rainfall.
Rainfall will be significant, especially north and west of Fiona's track, where heavy rainfall could lead to flooding. the highest rainfall amounts are likely for eastern Nova Scotia, southwestern Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence region. Forecast guidance is suggesting widespread amounts of 100 to 200 mm, but closer to the path of Fiona, more than 200 mm is likely. Some districts have received large quantities of rain recently, and excessive runoff may exacerbate the flooding potential.
c. Surge/Waves.
There will also be some rough and pounding surf, especially for parts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Large waves will reach the eastern shore of Nova Scotia Friday night and build to more than 10 metres. These waves will likely reach southern Newfoundland by Saturday morning. Some of the waves over eastern portions of the Gulf of St. Lawrence could be higher than 7 metres. Waves will break higher along some of the coastlines, and dangerous rip currents are likely. Storm surge will also be a threat, for parts of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, including Northumberland Strait, Gulf of St. Lawrence region including Iles-de-la-Madeleine, and southwest Newfoundland, but it is too early to provide details on which portions of the coastline may be affected the most.
3. Marine weather impacts and warnings summary.
Hurricane force southeasterlies should spread into Scotian Slope waters Friday evening, these hurricane force southeasterlies will persist near and south of the track. As the storm moves into the Maritimes, storm to hurricane force northwesterlies will likely develop behind it. Waves in excess of 12 metres should form south and east of the hurricane track, beginning Friday night. These large waves will likely reach the south coast of Newfoundland early Saturday, and parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence later Saturday.
Forecaster(s): Clements/Couturier.QuoteFXCN31 CWHX 211800 Tropical cyclone technical information statement issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre of Environment Canada at 3.10 PM ADT Wednesday 21 September 2022. The next statement will be issued by 9.00 PM ADT 1. Current position, strength, central pressure and motion At 3.00 PM ADT, hurricane Fiona was located near latitude 25.1 N and longitude 71.7 W, about 571 nautical miles or 1058 km southwest of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds are estimated at 115 knots (213 km/h) and central pressure at 937 MB. Fiona is moving north at 7 knots (13 km/h). 2.

Technical discussion A. Analysis Fiona, a category 4 hurricane, is continuing northward. The once well defined eye has been filling with cloud on satellite over the last few hours. Vigorous convection is continuing to wrap around the centre, with satellite derived cloud top temperatures nearing - 80c in the northwestern quadrant. An area of convection well to the northeast of the centre is also evident on satellite at this time. Maximum sustained winds are held at 115 kts, and the central pressure is estimated at 937 MB. The motion is northward at 7 knots. B. Prognostic The environment will likely support slight intensification in the next day or so, as the hurricane travels in a moist environment over very warm waters under light to moderate wind shear. Beyond 18 hours, the model consensus begins to accelerate as an upper trough approaches from the west, bringing the hurricane near Sable Island Friday night as it undergoes extra-tropical transition. Then post-tropical storm Fiona is expected to make landfall over Cape Breton Island Saturday morning while maintaining sustained hurricane force winds. The forecast track has been shifted slighty westward with this update, to reflect the tight clustering of guidance ensemble members over Northern Cape Breton. The cumulative qpf field from the rdps/gdps suite is indicating a pre-cursor rainfall event well ahead of the centre beginning as early as Friday morning or afternoon. Rainfall totals suggested by the main models is showing more than 200 mm north and northwest of the track. C.

First 50's of the season IMBY, low of 57 this morning at 7am. Windows wide open!
-
High of 86 today with .29" of rain. Felt like mid-July. Looking forward to the week ahead. Meanwhile, my maple trees have shed about 30% of their leaves. I don't see any signs of disease, my first thought is the worse than usual flood/drought pattern this year.

Only .07" from the passing showers. High of 90.7 at 4:20pm.
-
Closed out August with 4.08" of rain. Monthly high of 98.2 on August 3rd, low of 60.0 on August 13th.
As for today, 63.4 at 7:15am this morning. Dare I say - a little chill for shorts and flip flops!
Looking back at 2021, September gave me my first fall 40's with a low of 49 on September 24th. Firewood ready!

If that happens they should name the system Rich Strike - that horse that almost no one expected to win the Kentucky Derby.
