Well. Fishel came on wringing his hands a little. Said the Triangle has greater chances of up to 50mph or so now. More to the south. Said it isn’t as bad a Fran was but this is a long period of time and it could be significant in places. 

Well great. 

I think that is possible contingent on where you live in the Triangle.  I live just north of Fuquay Varina and

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 50 MPH wind gust in my area.  Areas north and west of Raleigh probably

will not see any winds much above 40 MPH.  WTVD's Chris Holman did not show any wind gusts above 45

MPH in his wind estimates for the area.  Mother Nature will get the final say as far as how high our winds 

will get.

NWS warning only has 25-35mph sustained with gusts to 50mph for Wake and I be that is just for southern part

I see that’s what they put but if you plot the coordinates it’s definitely WNW

I'm sorry, but can the mods not get involved and get some of these "wishcasters' relocated to the banter forum? It really muddies everything up and makes this board unreadable. It's a large storm that is beginning to weaken as she interacts with land. She may regain a little strength, but there is no model that has this storm continuing a NW path.  It's going to wobble NW back to the W. And probably to the WSW or SW soon, based on current model projections.
