My 5:50 PM flight out of Tallahassee got cancelled, but I was able to get a refund on my ticket and just drove back to Greensboro.  I left around 3 PM about an hour after it started raining in Tallahassee and got back to GSO around midnight.  I drove out of the rain around Thomasville, GA and it was a pretty easy drive from there aside from running into some rain near Rock Hill, SC tonight.

Looks like Tallahassee is getting clobbered right now on the NW side of the eye.

I wonder what's going to cause Hermine to slow down once it gets off the coast of the Mid Atlantic ? Don't tropical systems usually accelerate once they get further north in latitude ?

Big block to the north/east...trapped.

West of the blue ridge into TN ~100%

NC Mountains/Foothills 90%

North-West Piedmont of NC 70%

Central NC 50%

Eastern NC 20%

Coastal NC ~0%

I think I did really well after looking at the official storm reports.

Just noticed this on the NHC site. Surprised it jumped from nothing to 40% just today.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT TUE SEP 13 2016

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Ian, located well to the east-southeast of Bermuda.

1. Surface observations, satellite images, and radar data indicate that
an area of low pressure is located just inland near Daytona Beach,
Florida.  This system continues to produce a large area of showers
and thunderstorms, with winds to tropical storm force along or just
offshore of portions of the northeast Florida coast.  This system is
very close to having the organization required of a tropical
cyclone, and advisories could be initiated later this afternoon.
The low is expected to move north-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph
today, near and parallel to the northeast coast of Florida.
Regardless of development, strong gusty winds will continue over
portions of the northeast Florida coast today, and heavy rains will
continue to spread over central and northern Florida today and
tonight.  Please consult your local National Weather Service office
for additional information on this system, including possible
warnings.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent

2. A broad area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave,
located a couple of hundred miles east-southeast of the Cabo Verde
Islands is producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and
showers.  Slow development of this disturbance is possible during
the next several days while it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15
mph over the tropical Atlantic.  Regardless of development, locally
heavy rains and gusty winds are likely over portions of the Cabo
Verde Islands through Wednesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent

Thought they were going to initiate advisories at 5PM. Looking even better now. Kinda late now to name it now. It would be the shortest Tropical storm ever lol.

post review will make it not be a tropical storm forming over land. probably offshore depression first or something

Well, summer beat the weather love right out of me, lol, but now I can see winter on the horizon, I have to get the moles ready to help get you and me some icy goodness this winter.  Well, I like the sleet, and you want the snow...but it's all comprised of frozen water :) So it's all good.

 I had hopes the td would bring up some rain to us, but Goofy's backed off on anything much for you and me.  Hopefully that will change.  Surely Metal Boy doesn't need all the rain :)  T

12Z EURO has a powerful hurricane north of the Bahamas late in the run..

yeah its a bit northeast of the normal tracks for something that comes on in but the run is not exactly looking like a classic recurve is happening yet,  its still moving NW at the end of the run, the base of that trough is a bit north and if that trough doesnt get any further SE than that it could very well slip under it instead of curving OTS, and then it could potentially end up hitting the SE coast most likely SC/NC being that far NE already..... Euro showing 940 mb as well....IF IF IF this system plays out like the Euro models it to it would be very close to the way Fran in 96 tracked and even close to how the storm evolved strength wise, at least up to that point in no way am I suggesting this thing hits like Fran did.
