  1. If the eye were less ragged we'd be talking about yutu returning to its former glory. There's pretty good model agreement now on a track similar to Mangkhut. I feel for the small communities trying to rebuild there, if it does indeed make landfall (hopefully with some substantial weakening beforehand).
  2. Yeah, it's a little out of it's range though. If it sticks to it's guns through 6z, then I'm all in for 60-70 ( east of the triad anyway).
  3. And when you get run to run consistency from the HRRR, 9 times out of ten, it is going to be approximately correct. That probably means "only" gusts in the 40-60 mph range, but it's something which we wouldn't even be considering if it weren't for hires models.
  4. It's funny to me how much hype there was surrounding Florence, even after we knew for sure it wasn't going to be a big deal apart from some flooding. This should be equivalent or worse, and I've hardly heard a thing about it. Blame the media I guess.
  5. Quiet around here, but perhaps what will in many ways be the worst part of the storm, still to come.
  6. Winds should remain more or less where they are right now for a long while. Flooding rains may be a concern, but totals over 6" should stay to our south and the higher terrain.
  7. Seems like land interaction forced it south, and now it's readjusting back to the expecting heading.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Jacksonville would be decimated if the GFS is how it played out.
  11. There's no dry air to speak of that may be ingested on landfall, which is rather remarkable.
  12. It has 30 straight hours of 1.5" per hour or higher rates. I can't imagine that can happen...
  13. 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
  14. Doesn't appear to make landfall this run, but drift just offshore
  15. 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.
