LakeNormanStormin

Moved to Lake Norman in 2015. Amazing how those first few winters were so climatological in terms of winter snowfall for the area. Even if it was one snow event. It was four to five inches of great powder. Have not had a drop of the good stuff here since 1/21/22. Please bring it back.

Please let it hold to the lake. No rain here since Helene.

Lows here in the Carolinas tonight dipping into the upper 40s. That front is certainly going to be tugging Milton more NE in the coming hours. You can really start to see it in the orientation of the moisture where Milton wants to go.

Think Milton defies logic. What would be a CAT3 at landfall could easily be a CAT4. Now cast.

Praying for you and your family. May everyone in that area come out okay and healthy.

We got a thunderstorm complex in Huntersville where I was playing an open mic around 10pm-12 am that was just wild. Torrential downpours, wind, and lots of lightning. 2 inches of rain in 2 hours. If there is a wind threat here with Helene, the ground will be very saturated come Thursday night into Friday.

Thought about that too being here in the NC Piedmont. Wonder what effect the upper level low and stalled front will have on that.

That beast will split the difference. My amateur eyes looking at New Orleans to Pensacola. CAT3

1.95 inches with that storm yesterday evening here in Cornelius First appreciable rain since Debby.

The Lake Norman Piedmont area strikes out again. Alas, premium pool weather watching those thunderstorms on the western horizon.

I suspect there will be a burst between now and mid-October. Will it get me to my 21 tropical storm prediction? Unlikely.

4.5 inches in the last 24 hours here in Cornelius on Lake Norman. Think we got most of it between 4AM-9AM yesterday. Those training bands that came through had insane rain rates. If the deformation band had stayed on us, it would have been disastrous.

Too early to tell really, but based on the pressure readings of that particular model run, I'd guess Cat 1 or 2 hurricane. How much land interaction it encounters in the islands could be the ultimate determinant of that.

If that High Pressure builds back in stronger than advertised, I could see a Hugo type track. Not saying it would have the intensity that Hugo did though (Cat 4).

Today in Cornelius: 'Clouds to the left of me, Soakers to the right... Here I am, stuck in the middle with zilch.'
