12z HWRF has max winds of close to 100kts when Hermine makes landfall in FL.  It also holds wind gusts above 60kts on the coast of GA, SC, and NC for a good period of the day Saturday.  Should be a fun trip CR!

 

Gonna be fun, unless it takes the Navgem track.  Then you guys might get the brunt of it.

Disco from RAH:

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 305 PM Wednesday...

...Newly named TS Hermine to possibly impact central NC Friday and
Saturday...

The 12z runs of the GFS and ECMWF both indicated a slower and westward
shift in the track of now TS Hermine , a trend that started last
night. It appears Hermine will drift north across the Florida
panhandle and then begin to interact with a trough digging through
the Midwest. This interaction makes the westward shift plausible,
and the GFS/ECMWF paint 2+ inches of qpf across nearly all of
central NC Friday through early Saturday as the low center moves
essentially along the I-95 corridor. The official track from the
NHC this afternoon will offer much needed guidance in these
trends. One thing that will likely be a significant factor will
be the cold front that settles across the area tomorrow. Heavy
precip could develop along the front by early Friday, still well
away from Hermine, and a left of track QPF max should evolve as
well given the front and upper jet to the northwest. We have
remained a little conservative in our increase in QPF, but there
is enough agreement in the GFS and ECMWF, supported by many GEFS
members, to forecast 1-3 inches of storm total QPF, with some high
amounts in the southeast. Wind isn`t a significant threat with
this potential event, but an inland track will also increase winds
and a threat of some downed trees with the heavy rain. Have also
lowered highs into the upper 70s on Friday, though these could be
several degrees cooler as well. -BS

Saturday: Forecast confidence is quite low, especially earlier in
the day, due to the uncertainty in track and speed of the tropical
cyclone. Latest operational GFS and NAM have brought the cyclone`s
track progressively west into the piedmont with slower forward
speed. This would obviously extend potentially heavy rain into
Saturday morning. Will thus have chance PoPs in the west graduated a
lingering likely PoP in the east during the morning tapering off to
chance in the northeast by evening, with no PoP overnight. Guidance
highs are likely too high as well the likelihood of extensive
cloud coverage and rain...will lower to the 75 to 80 degree
range...with mins on Saturday night from 60 to 65 under clearing
skies.

Sunday through Wednesday: Mostly clear skies through the period as
cool surface high pressure will be building in from the north and
overhead early next week. This will maintain below-normal
thicknesses through Monday, with temps beginning to climb Tue and
Wed as the high shifts overhead and offshore. Highs will be mostly
in the lower-mid 80s with lows in the lower-mid 60s through Mon,
followed by warming temps to upper 80s Tue and Wed with potentially
some lower 90s on Wed.

While I like the new track, I have to say I've already seen some nice effects from the storms.  Breezes, and wind, and making it feel cooler than it is.  I'm at 91 but it feels much cooler, after a summer of it feeling much hotter :)  The last few days have been a huge relief.  T

It still feels hot as crap to me even with the lower humidity. It did feel nice this morning though at 65 degrees.

I would guess the current NHC track is as far west as it goes and it creeps back east over the next 24 hrs....tornado threat with the large circulation especially near the coast in SC/NC plus 2-5" of rain....sucks too cause its finally drying out here and deer season is right around the corner....all this will do is get the skeeters to a new level of hell lol.

I wouldnt trust the NAM much, it always does a terrible job with QPF in winter and summer events. It either over does or under does the QPF, at least in the mid atlantic its been that way minus the blizzard last Jan

Wish Hermine would speed up and take a track further east, I need to fly out of RDU Sat morning around 8ish. Figures the first time it rains in quite a while and it is a tropical system that day I have to fly out. :axe::axe:

Its a pretty ugly storm, if the center doesn't wrap storms in the next 12 hrs or so its going to have a hard time maintaining it once it starts to speed up. That southern "blob" is really hurting it IMO, its restricting outflow to the south and the dry air to the NW is hurting the outflow in that direction the system is very squeezed and it may end up east of track the whole way especially if that side continues to be the side with the weather, This means it landfalls further east in Florida and also tracks further east up the coast with the center over or even east of MBY...this thing really needs to wrap storms around the center and get some good banding going on, shear is a good as its going to get right now so if it doesn't happen in the next 12 hrs or so it probably isn't......00Z GFS is way east with the center over N....it goes ILM, Jacksonville and then right over Hatteras.....
