It really muddies everything up and makes this board unreadable. It's a large storm that is beginning to weaken. It's going to wobble NW back to the W. And probably to the WSW or SW soon, based on current model projections. Pressure has dropped about 3mb, so technically, it’s getting stronger, ir at very least, holding her own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 That outer eyewall structure is stretched across most of the Onslow Bay beaches. That structure or band has hurricane force winds in it. The Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach area should be in it in an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 As the eye contracts and collapses, Florence rolls along the coast and does appear to have a slight southward motion in the westward track. Eye wall onshore. Looks like landfall near Masonboro Island, between Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach is immanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
