NJwinter23 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Like Phil though, I wonder too what type of winds we have at the surface in that NE eye wall blow up taking place right now...50k ft tops...Arthur is looking pretty darn impressive visually from where we were a couple hours ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Scouring Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Extrapolation based on reconnaissance and radar data suggests a LF is likely near Beaufort, NC. I'm guessing 80 kt for the peak and landfall intensities. That would mean the NC coast will probably see low-end hurricane winds, which would be a bust on my end, but I may yet get the intensity right. (I've been saying 75-80 kt tops for some time now.)

wxeyeNH Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Did euro being this west , i.e over east NC then close to cape cod. Only see 48 hr point close to east end of maine I don't understand this post. What path does the new Euro take the storm. Is it west? How for from Nantucket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 They just did a NE/SW pass Ah ok..they found nothing of note in that blow up? Either way, can't argue with what you're saying about the limited time here for Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, can't argue with what you're saying about the limited time here for Arthur. The SFMR was slightly up to 82 KT, and the extrapolated pressure ever so slightly down, but basically the only improvement seen is with respect to it mixing out some of the dry air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Significant dry slot is still evident. I say it makes it to 100 mph or so-I don't see a real chance at it getting higher than that. The dry air is just too tenacious and interrupting the core, and it's very close to land. These hurricanes that parallel the east coast always seem to have this problem with entrainment of dry air from land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should also note that Carteret County is the hurricane capital of NC with the shortest return rate between 'cane impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 FWIW the SPC did give the TOR watch 60/40 probs... Even mentioning the possibility of a couple intense tornadoes... This doesn't surprise me given the storm is moving into a rather strongly unstable environment across the Eastern Seaboard that could support more robust cells than normal.
