  1. They may have to wait for recon. There’s no convection at the center and there’s still more baroclinic influence IMO than tropical influence. Still intensifying though.
  2. If it does go tropical, it’ll be right before landfall when the center can tighten and pressure is lowest. This is a more subtropical look currently, as expected.
  3. It’s going to be sheared all the way to the end, but what you’re looking for as this approaches landfall about 24 hours from now is whether it can establish an inner core to take it close to C1. For that to happen, you need convection over the center, not adjacent to it. We don’t have that right now despite the intensification trend. Impacts remain the same generally though.
  4. Hurricane models for whatever they’re worth with a broad low, have future Ophelia get sub 990mb before a NC landfall. All in agreement in a heavy rain event in SNE.
  5. We hope, though my concern is that we flip this in November.
  6. I was hopeful too, but deep down I knew hydro was coming back. This is made all the more impressive by the fact that this is the first heavy rain event here that’s directly influenced by tropical. In 2021 and a lot of the other big rainfall years tropical had a heavy influence.
  7. I could hear a "PLEASE GOD" coming from the west after you posted that. Stay safe.
  8. Yup, rain's the story here. If we can get that axis of heavy rain over us Saturday or Sunday watch out. I'm at 7.55" since September 8. Unreal how wet it has been...my lawn is having trouble draining lol.
  9. Probably would remain unless it became clear in time that development wasn’t happening.
  10. The first SHIPS forecast was eye opening and I think there’s a good chance of the dynamics I posted about earlier leading to development of an inner core. Time is the limitation here, I think.
  11. Seeing that LLC become better defined, but like the NHC stated, center reformations will be possible. We'll see how the next few hours go, but it's coming together. Likely won't become tropical until it's closing in on NC.
  12. With more light, you can see a well defined LLC, but note that as the NHC said, center reformations will be possible, especially with convection to the east and high shear present off the SE coast.
  13. Nah, this should go over NC and into the Mid-Atlantic. Makes it post tropical up our way unless it trends east and stays off the coast—even then the waters north of the GS are cold. Shear is high off the SE coast too so while I think it can trend a little stronger there is a ceiling.
  14. I think there’s a good chance this keeps trending a little stronger. The 50kt opening bid by the NHC is a nod to those stronger global runs. Looks pretty wet here. Not sure how that’ll trend.
  15. I’ve seen this happen a few times recently with homebrew systems. Kind of surprised the NHC wasn’t higher given the cross guidance signal on the models, particularly in the last 24 hours.
