WxJordan Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Storm is finally beginning to depart Oak Island. Winds are remaining high, around 40 mph sustained, with gust up to 60 mph.

toxictwister00 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Its moving more NE than anything should hit Emerald Isle pretty much head on, here is the path it appears to be taking if you smooth out all the wobbles Arthur.gif I agree, it still looks to be on track to hit that area. Also is Arthur attempting to reconstruct a new, smaller eye? http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=MHX-N0Q-1-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is Arthur attempting to reconstruct a new, smaller eye? http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=MHX-N0Q-1-12 See in that loop to me it looks like its suddenly moving almost due north again but its mostly a illusion caused by the eye filling in and tightening up a bit more than a true north movement.....well at least I think that's the case....but it has had a pattern of taking east jogs then north jogs, a north jog now would be bad for a lot of people.

Solak Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 US National Weather Service Raleigh NC Here is an updated regional radar image showing the current location of Hurricane Arthur. Additional rain bands are moving into Central NC as of 730 pm as showers and thunderstorms are moving into the Triad and Charlotte areas ahead of the cold front. The latest update on Arthur can be found here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT1+shtml/032300.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxJordan Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I assume this is your first tropical system? If so congrats on being in your first hurricane Yes, this is my first tropical storm, and it is awesome. We are still having winds 40-50 mph with gusts up to 60 mph on the backside of the storm. Waiting for the video. Haha jk. Once I get back home, I will be putting together some sort of video with all of the videos I took. I wish I had a higher quality camera, but unfortunately I don't.

downeastnc Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 This one is different too because of all the thunder and lightning associated with it, normally there is not very much of that when these things come in but its been pretty much ongoing off and on all afternoon with this one.....

Lookout Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I know most are focusing on the landfall aspect but it's pretty neat to see the very sharp turning of the echoes around raleigh...storms are moving west just east of rdu then it looks like it hits a brick wall and turns immeidately south. Not the normal gradual turning you see with storms/canes. Throw in that line of curbed showers and storms approaching the storm itself at a pretty rapid speed and you have a very unique radar.

Hvward Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Seeing some readings from the hurricane trackers of: Flt. Lvl. Wind (30s): From 216° at 92 knots (From the SW at ~ 105.8 mph) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 What happens when they converge? <Not a Met... what is going on when the collision occurs? Sweeps it more right... and faster? The line will likely dissipate due to loss of daytime heating and subsidence around the storm. But that normal area of subsidence is what makes that line seem out of place. The models, in particular the hrrr, did a good job in predicting it...as it was showing it as early as last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Watching the radar loop it really looks like the cold front will easily win this showdown. If trends continue Arthur is going to get kicked hard right around midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I'm already disappointed in not receiving any rain, and then see all that action in NC and FL/GA with everything avoiding here. NC about to light up with tornado warnings, look at all those little couplets moving onshore. Already two currently with one that looks to be producing.

Crapper Jim Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Okay... what's gonna happen, Lookout, when this crosses the Outer Banks and gets shunted of the Altantic Coast toward Nova Scotia? It doesn't seem a 'big deal' for NC... my experience - except for flooding... inland storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Dry air has really been a saving grace so far. Every time it gets ready to take off, it starts to fall apart. Compare it from earlier to now. Cloud tops much warmer than earlier and dry air eating away the convection. Still impressive looking for a category 1.

LMA1973 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Oh most def! Doesnt take much to steer a hurricane one way or the other which is why they tend to wobble so much (with no outside impact). In this instance that strong (for this time of year) cold front is gonna boot Arthur out of the way with no trouble whatsoever. Watching the radar loop it really looks like the cold front will easily win this showdown. If trends continue Arthur is going to get kicked hard right around midnight.

downeastnc Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I dunno that east side is nasty right now but the last 30 mins he has either stalled or drifted north more that anything else. Looking like a terrible night for the Crystal Coast and later the OBX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smog strangler Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Said it in the main wx forecast thread and needs to be said again. HUGE SCORE for the NHC in regards to track all the way back to pre genesis when sinking south and west and then post genesis. Don't mess with the cone.
