Not disagreeing but radar has a hard time seeing through the eye sometimes.


.

I would be more inclined to agree with that, but the WV loop shows the dry air entrainment well. Maybe Florence will be able to burp it out and recover quickly but time is running out.

Exceedingly rare to get a westward moving tornado. These cases of landfalling westward-moving TCs are about the only time.

Hopefully not an incorrect question...

Do storm observations need to go in the Storm Mode thread (here) or will there be a separate thread?

I would say to go ahead and put storm obs here until the powers above my pay scale create a separate thread for those specifically.

GFS and NAM destroy the area NE of ILM with rain. Seeing 38" on the GFS through hr 60, and that is a global model. 

That highlights the importance of the NHC's warning about flash flooding:

Life-threatening, catastrophic flash flooding and prolonged
significant river flooding are likely over portions of the Carolinas
and the southern and central Appalachians through early next week,
as Florence is expected to slow down as it approaches the coast and
moves inland.

GFS just took a step towards the 0z euro track that parallels the coast of SC.

Curious, how helpful/accurate are these models (GFS/Euro) this point so close the landfall of the storm?  Are there other models at this point in the short range that do better with storm direction?  Or is it just nowcasting at this point?

At this point will have to remember the core may do funny things as a result of the slow movement and interaction with land, I think the models still have use as far as trends as to where they core will likely go though. Couple other points. While winds likely wont be the big story here, the unusual slow track will result in a lot of coastal areas getting the RFQ of the storm for significant duration. Will have watch where feeded bands set up later, GFS wants to pound the Jacksonville area for a long period.

Now that Florence has slowed significantly, I am most curious if the 12z ECMWF will continue resolving SW motion down the SC coastline or go ahead and slide Florence inland over Florence, SC, as the GFS and GEM are showing.
