  1. It may partly be a function of a different part of the eye being exposed, but it appears that Flo has taken a big step to the West over the past few hours.
  2. The whole NE half of the storm looks quite healthy, especially in the last few frames. if shear lets up somewhat, I don't see why it wouldn't restrengthen somewhat to a legit cat 3.
  3. Jacksonville would be decimated if the GFS is how it played out.
  4. There's no dry air to speak of that may be ingested on landfall, which is rather remarkable.
  5. It has 30 straight hours of 1.5" per hour or higher rates. I can't imagine that can happen...
  6. Convection is starting to fire west of the core where it's been sheared, in addition to the impressive convection on the western side of the eyewall
  7. Doesn't appear to make landfall this run, but drift just offshore
  8. Bad news for Wilmington. It's quite plausible that Wilmington could get the RFQ, and at a trajectory perpendicular to the coast. It's too early to speculate on exact landfall of course, but earlier I really thought Wilmington had dodged a bullet.
  9. Are there any mechanisms which might cause the precip shield to eventually get displaced from the center like what happened with Mathew? I remember that not being modeled well at all, but it kept shifting more inland.
  10. There's swath of 20-30" of rain near the coast on the GFS. The Euro and UKMET had totals over 40" . The freshwater flooding alone is going to be worse than Mathew somewhere.
  11. Great analysis here (It continues in the comments below the tweet): https://twitter.com/pppapin/status/1039404118052237312
  12. The visible loop shows the eye just about cleared out apart from some Cirrus.
  13. To kick off the 0z models, the ICON takes a pretty decent shift to the left with a landfall around Cape Lookout.
  14. It's no surprise there's flash flooding in texas with moisture being pulled from the pacific, the Caribbean, and right off the extra warm gulf
  15. Yet another Arabian peninsula landfall, it's looking rather impressive on satellite and radar.
  16. It comes down to timing and rates. Without both I'm not optimistic. But the high end potential of 6-10" would be epic. I love low probability events when they work out.
  17. Light non-accumulating snow is going to ruin my love of snow I swear. It may as well be drizzle.
  18. It's good to see some decent snow with the deform band on the HRRR. Hours and hours of +/- 40 degree rain has been thoroughly depressing. If this storm were in January we would have probably had an epic sleet storm.
