  1. It's funny to me how much hype there was surrounding Florence, even after we knew for sure it wasn't going to be a big deal apart from some flooding. This should be equivalent or worse, and I've hardly heard a thing about it. Blame the media I guess.
  2. Most are weak, but wow, what a lot of couplets.
  3. Quiet around here, but perhaps what will in many ways be the worst part of the storm, still to come.
  4. Winds should remain more or less where they are right now for a long while. Flooding rains may be a concern, but totals over 6" should stay to our south and the higher terrain.
  5. Seems like land interaction forced it south, and now it's readjusting back to the expecting heading.
  6. Probably Autism. Mostly. Speaking as someone who can't help but be a little disappointed, and wishes I wasn't, but is drawn to extreme weather like a fly to a light.
  7. IMHO it's better to risk having traffic jams two days before a category 4 makes landfall in VA beach, than to have people disregard evacuations next time around.
  8. It may partly be a function of a different part of the eye being exposed, but it appears that Flo has taken a big step to the West over the past few hours.
  9. The whole NE half of the storm looks quite healthy, especially in the last few frames. if shear lets up somewhat, I don't see why it wouldn't restrengthen somewhat to a legit cat 3.
  10. Jacksonville would be decimated if the GFS is how it played out.
  11. There's no dry air to speak of that may be ingested on landfall, which is rather remarkable.
  12. It has 30 straight hours of 1.5" per hour or higher rates. I can't imagine that can happen...
  13. I saw a, blow Florence away with fans, campaign on Facebook. I guess it's working, because models are trying their best to keep it offshore.
  14. Convection is starting to fire west of the core where it's been sheared, in addition to the impressive convection on the western side of the eyewall
  15. The Euro run would be terrifying for people who decide to stay in Wilmington. Hours upon hours of the eyewall wobbling towards or away from the city, eventually making it onshore. Wilmington gets about 48 hours of hurricane strength gusts. Not to mention the surge and over two feet of rain.
  16. Doesn't appear to make landfall this run, but drift just offshore
