With this now a major hurricane this thing is coming east as noted above.  That will really put us here in WNC in the bullseye in my opinion.  Also we've seen this before but in situations like this the models underperforme on precipitation amounts.  Also keep an eye out on sustained winds and wind gusts.

Sure looks like this will be our heaviest rain event since Helene along the escarpment. I just wonder if there will be any new landslides where the soil is still loose from last time.
