Dang that's pretty impressive so far.

Heck yeah. Yall needed this.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well.

Winds gusting to around 25 to 30 mph.

Tropical downpours now. Coming in sideways.

Moderate rain, windy, and cold with the temp of 52 degrees.

Also I don't see any convection along the coast that will rob us of moisture...

Getting some heavy rainfall here already this morning.

Yeah this plus the winds will cause some major issues in the mountains.

Yeah not great. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Post it

Yeah Steve just texted me this info. This is very impressive.

Well folks this looks legit with everything coming together. We all new that we couldn't keep avoiding this type event again. Hurricane, moving fast, high winds, heavy rainfall, possible power outages and flooding. As we all know this isn't Hurricane Helene but this is a powerful Hurricane. Batten down the hatches and prepare now. As we all have known it's better to be prepared for the worst than be in a vulnerable position. Everyone post as much as you want and can about this upcoming event. We all need to stay on top of this.

Yup they finally pulled the trigger. Good thing as well. No need to wait until the last minute. People have PTSD from Helene. This storm looks legit for us folks.

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.

Yeah I've been reading that may be the biggest problem with moisture heading this way is that convection along the coast will rob us.

I hope so. You'd think it would push it more eastward.

Well this thing has trended west so we may not get much rain at all around here
