WeatherHawk Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Steady rain and a few gusts here and there...holding down for the next 20+ hours of rain. Won't take much wind to create significant power outages here in NC, esp out soil was already saturated before Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 2"+ hr rates starting to setup shop from Florence to Lumberton to Clinton, won't be long before these rates work there way in to Fayetteville, an area that saw significant localized flooding just a week ago. The Cape Fear is going to make a run at record along several points I think. GFS has us getting an inch of rain before 10am, with the bulk (8") falling between noon and 10pm.

Sadly I cant seem to find any model that gives us less than 8-10" lol....if the dry air mixing does occur on the back edge of the wind shield for a few hrs and we do see gust to 60-80 mph inland its gonna be lights out for everyone...heck even gust 40-60mph will be bad...ground has been saturated for months and trees will drop like crazy.....

I'll be soaked in another hr or so when the pups get up and have to potty, so I can dump it then...lol.

downeastnc Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well here come the tornados, all those storms popping off the SE NC coast are gonna be trouble. from Cape Fear to Cape Lookout will be under the gun for that threat for the next 3-4 hrs at least....west of Cape Fear in those heavy bands is also a problem area with the typical quick little spin up couplets flaring up pretty much anywhere in those bands...I actually saw one of those little spin ups in Bertha it came out of the woods 300 yrds from the house and crossed a field, doesnt really look like a tornado and if it wasnt for all the limbs and leaves and stuff in it I wouldnt have been able to see it very easily since its raining so hard....

Power was already out for a few minutes and has been flickering ever since. So it won't take much to knock it completely out, I'm sure. And yeah, there have been tornado warnings throughout Brunswick and New Hanover counties this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Not that it really matters at this point, but the 12z NAM has 10+ inches into the Raleigh area. Looks like the 5+ would get to Burlington or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Rain! I'm getting a bit of a dry slot at the moment. Not completely dry as its drizzling, no doubt it will back to pouring soon. Amazingly I do not think we've had an official landfall with the center of circulation over land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
