I don't think I ever laughed so hard after he started predicting pop-up thunderstorms on his new in-house model and your subsequent rants. Anyway, it's getting a little breezier here in Ellijay but so far I think the Cohuttas have cut into our wind speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oconeexman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm getting the wind for sure but I'm not seeing 3-4 inches of rain out of this. The darker yellow and orange bands seem to dissipate as the enter the upstate..at least the nw corner. Same would apply for NEGa it looks like. I was thinking the mountains would help enhance bit this isn't a normal situation I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovingGulfLows Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Starting to wonder if the models were maybe too late with the highest sustained winds/gusts. Seems these high gusts are associated with this large area of heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx4life Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 NC obs Temp. 58 Light rain Winds gusts up to 3mph. I know they have been higher in gust, but that's what my nearest weather station was reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be crazy to have 35 sustained! Now it's almost calm between 20-30 gusts! The bands have the strongest winds, but as mentioned, as the bands approach, they are falling apart. Would be shocked if I got more than an inch of rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thess Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 To a non-local it's hard to tell what's going on with that restaurant because of the boats nearby. How much higher than usual is the water? Edit: Found this reference photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
