The 18Z GFS initialized way to weak and it goes really slow the first 48 hrs versus its previous runs thus the differences.....not sure how reliable this run is.

UK agrees, this ain't hitting NC. Prelude to winter, at least the weekend won't be a washout here in NC.

Ukmet looks similar to GFS at 96 hrs. Well east of NC coast...

 

Edit: Nobody should get too excited about any model output right now. It's pretty common for all of the models to whiff on the ultimate path of a storm in the 4 day timeframe... this thing still has time to go anywhere.

On the one hand I'm glad that maybe NC won't take a hit.  We don't need the additional rain and the wind (though we'll still get a lot of wind as it passes but hopefully not tree-toppling).  On the other hand, now the Northeast Media Machine will crank up and it can get unbearable at times.  Not because they shouldn't sound the alarm (they should!) but because as long as it is a NC storm it seems like nobody cared.  And that stinks.

honestly I don't see anyone in the US getting a direct hit out of Joaquin, but yeah nc will still get its share of rain. This is really great news for NC. Could have been total devastation and I don't care how much you like extreme weather, no one wants to go through something like that.

So is anyone interested in volunteering to help clean up from the flooding rains that the GFS is still putting out for WNC since some is saying its over and its a snooze fest?

Can't trust GFS totals at all. JMO  yesterday it gave me 29 inches.LOL 12z today 5.31 just 2 feet difference in less than 24 hours!!!

Amen.  Fran and Floyd were plenty enough tropical action for me.  With my parents in Onslow county I'm really, really happy that hopefully this will cruise on by.  Feel for my Northeast family (Riverhead, Long Island) though.  Hopefully it'll go completely out to sea.

yeah I'm hoping and praying this thing goes out to sea also. The east coast dealt with enough with Sandy.

Well the Euro has been consistently giving my area here in the foothills right at a foot each run

No doubt we'll still see a lot of rain. If we have no influence from hurricane.... I'm not saying we want see a good rain event, just not what GFS shows. unless euro comes left and this run of GFS was a dud. euro wins is what I was trying to say.

Right but actually the GFS is on the lower end of precip amounts here. Euro has been consistently the highest amounts of precip.
