Crazy 3 days away and still no clue as to what will happen;the cmc and hwrf are really worse case scenarios for MBY as well downeast. What is exactly supposed to weaken the ridge and build a weakness is it ex ida? Because looking at satellite that system seems to be a non factor.

CMC is a touch east instead of ILM headed WNW its Swansboro headed WNW, nasty hit for NC for sure

HWRF looks similar maybe a bit NE of last landfall most likely really its worse case scenario for MBY has 100knts right before landfall as well.....

Do you have the HWRF maps I could look at?

The 00z GGEM brings it ashore near Morehead City (actually, probably Swansboro, as Shaggy said), so there's that.  I'm not sure if it's wise to pay that model any attention when it comes to tropical weather, however.  At the same time, I'm not sure if the Euro and GFS are usually considered go-to tropical models, either.

so what model is the go-to model for tropical storms ?

talk about a tough nut to crack with so many possible solutions and complicated interactions.

 

canadian is just absurd with the rainfall totals over south carolina. One common theme on all the models is still the heavy rainfall centered over sc, regardless of the ultimate track of this hurricane.  buckeye and stormfury better go buy a boat or raft or something. btw, this is just through hour 78..more to come afterwards, especially north carolina.

When do the gfs ensembles come out? Need to brush up on all these intricate model timetables in time for winter. With something so delicate as interaction with the trough, I'd assume the ensembles will be a bit all over the board.

 

 

The ensemble mean seems to bring the storm ashore near Morehead City, NC, though I haven't seen the individual members.

 

The storm curves west towards Wilson, NC in the ensuing couple frames.

It also paints one hell of a rainstorm with basically the entirety of SC/NC/VA in 6"+ of rain.

 

I've got to leave for WV tomorrow evening for a funeral on Friday and I'm driving back to NC on Saturday, so that might be interesting...

Yeah the 00Z GFS OP was weak and slow, the hi res cane models etc are all stronger and faster so we will see how it actually plays out.....but the GFS ens mean is in line with the previous OP runs so I am more inclined to throw out the 00Z OP GFS now that I have seen the ens and the CMC/HWRF and GFDL all pretty much stayed the same.

The area of Downtown Columbia/Five Points floods out extremely easily.  It's going to be absolutely ridiculous how bad it's going to be out there in the coming days.  I live out not far from Buckeye and I still have water standing in places from the first big round mainly. :(  Thankfully my home is on a hill.

Those are the 18z GEFS tracks. Here's the 00z plot. Note there are 2 very distinct camps, with some members keeping it east of the US and the rest hitting between Myrtle and Cheseapke. The 00z operational GFS track into NJ has absolutely no support. But that is an increase in the number of ensemble members staying east.
