TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A broad area of low pressure located about 150 miles southeast
of the coast of South Carolina continues to produce disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected
to remain conducive for gradual development of this system while
it drifts southward offshore of Georgia and northeastern Florida
during the next few days. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter
aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system Sunday afternoon,
if necessary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...60 percent.

800 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A low pressure system located about 230 miles east of Jacksonville,

Florida, continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms

as it moves slowly southward. Upper-level winds are only marginally

favorable, and proximity to dry air to the north of the disturbance

could inhibit formation of a tropical cyclone over the next couple

of days. By Wednesday, however, environmental conditions are

expected to become more conducive for development of this system

while it drifts southward and meanders offshore of the Florida east

coast. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled

to investigate this system this afternoon, if necessary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Dry air seems to be hindering this system a tad bit but the models still all have this thing near or at hurricane strength in a few days north of the Bahamas.....latest Euro keeps it offshore the OBX but its close enough that it wouldn't take much to get it in over eastern NC.

Dang it! I just left kure beach. That would have been awesome! One thing I did note is that there is a ton of construction going on there as well as a bunch of older homes ready to be demolished. A lesser storm could do a lot of material damage there right now. Minimal dune protection as well.

Before we freak out, this is the same HWRF model that was suggesting a landfall on Louisiana yesterday in additional to being a weenie model historically. However, and it's a big however, this model did pretty decent with couple of EPAC storms this year. I think we'll have to see if 91L can build up onto its structure over the next 24 hours before even considering its potential.

Oh trust me I don't really give it much weight but it is inline with a lot of the other model guidance.......and it is most likely overdone at Cat 2 but this thing if it does form is going to give folks all up the east coast a headache this holiday weekend.

I know some of y'all know what's the deal is, but there's always people lurking on this website :)

Was just in Carolina Beach myself Thursday. That and Kure Beach will suffer major damage from even a Category 1, I believe. Just be careful :)

I was just interested in that the HWRF was the furthest west model and from 12z to 18z it made quite a jump in track and intensity. Interesting for sure. I'd go with an OTS/hug the coast track, though, of course.

If your on the ocean you don't want this since they will not let you stay if it comes this way as a cane since they will most likely do mandatory evacs....

A hundred yards or so in from the beach...in Seawatch. You're probably right though, half of me wants to see a storm up front, the other half just wants to enjoy vacation. We'll see...

Yup...OTS/coastal hugger is definitely the way to go. It will be hard for this one to track very far inland.

Keep in mind now a days mandatory is mandatory they pull the trigger on that and its hrs of traffic jams for you especially if you are not the owner....so you need to really hope this goes away.......

 

The models will be all over the place I think as they differ in the strength and timing of the trough next week......so expect lots of changes but there is already a far amount of agreement in the overall evolution of the system it does seem rather likely to at least threaten the SE...

Agree anything west of I-95 would be surprising in this setup......that said IF the trough tugs it north then leaves it behind and then the ridge builds back in above it we could see a turn to the NW some which could mean more inland areas get in on it the act at least in the rainfall dept.

Let's not forget it's about 15 miles between Kure Beach to Interstate 40 via one 2 lanes road.

Selfishly, I hope it stays away from the OBX. That is my favorite place to be in NC.

Naw, OBX could use some more storm modification.  It's on the verge of forming some new inlets and Hwy 12 and the Bonner Bridge are begging for more DOT money. ;)

 

BTW, someone with EMS will have to make a decision soon regarding closing the area to tourists or not. It would be a nightmare to try to evacuate all the 4th of July visitors at the last minute! :wacko:
