cptcatz Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 51 knots a little closer to the center. Should be an upgrade to at least 45 mph, maybe 50? Seems to be overperforming since the beginning. Wouldnt be surprised to see it become a high end TS, maybe 70 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Posted just after 1AM in SE subforum by someone visiting N Myrtle Beach, he said this at ~1AM as it’s gotten quite stormy there (consistent with the radar): “Hello everyone, I normally post on the New England forum however I am in North Myrtle Beach and the weather has quickly deteriorated to heavy squalls and the wind has increased considerably in the last 30 minutes from an estimated 10 to 15 miles an hour to 20 to 25 with a couple of gusts that have been 40mph at least, I don’t have an anemometer however I think that is a pretty close estimate.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously hurricanes Florence and Michael had catastrophic flood events for parts of central NC but that was mostly east of the areas impacted by Chantal. I think these areas you’d have to go back to 1996 Hurricane Fran to find anything close to this. You keep seeing the record crests from that storm mentioned in NWS flood forecasts as it was the benchmark for these areas in terms of river flooding which makes this all the more impressive 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
