On their radar, eye seems to be moving clearly SW, and once it passes the Oak Island area, it looks like the eye will be back over water (a fair distance offshore) for a period of time. What will this do for strengthening before a second possible landfall in SC? Slows the rate of weakening dramatically. 0z Euro shows a minimal cane down to Eastern SC, through tomorrow a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Frictional torquing likely playing a part in keeping it offshore. The torque component can become dominant in such weak steering flow and when running at a shallow angle to the coast (as Florence has). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprises me most is I don’t see many talking about the moderate to major coastal flooding expected all the way up to MD. That’s incredible given that center of Florence is over 300 miles from these locations in the Mid Atlantic. We’re looking at over 500 miles of coastline with moderate to locally major coastal flooding. This and the prolific rainfall will be Florence’s legacy. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=AKQ https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=VAZ524&warncounty=VAC700&firewxzone=VAZ524&local_place1=2 Miles WNW Newport News / Williamsburg Intl Airport VA&product1=Coastal+Flood+Warning&lat=37.1547&lon=-76.5391 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just one example. Some coastal flooding is occurring as far North as the Jersey shore and some of the rain might actually make it into Cape May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean City mayor was on the radio this morning talking about their efforts to help against erosion should there be any surge issues, etc. Our governor declared a state of emergency earlier this week.

NWS forecast this afternoon has gusts to 83kts Live reports show the offshore wind at MYR has the ocean pushed way back (extra wide beach) with no significant waves due to the offshore wind flow. The ocean is about as calm as can be. When the center of circulation gets south of MYR, it'll get a 'extra' surge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use caution with the USGS rapid deployment gauges that are listed. They use tipping buckets and are likely being affects by the wind, therein produce artificially higher rainfall amounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some aspect of these gauges you're aware of that would cause this? Or wind-induced tips?

Looking at the streams this morning, there are just tons and tons of pine debris all over the roads and highways.

I'll play devil's advocate here. If a branch was about to come down on my house and I thought there was a lull in the storm, I might run out too to trim a limb before it crashes into my roof. Is it safe? No. Do I recommend it? No. But I can understand the logic a bit, despite the dangerous nature of it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaleighNC Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Wind picking up in NRaleigh. Not much rain yet. I have scraps of trees down in my yard, but it really has been better than expected so far (knock on wood). Chickens not laying though.
