Do we know if there is some larger-scale/decadal phenomenon that accounts for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 49 minutes ago, mappy said: anything over 8" should be tossed Can be undercatch with strong winds too. In hurricanes when warm processes dominate the rainfall, amounts can add up quick. I can’t speak for all gauges, just noting that we can get prolific rains real quick and have a wide variety of amounts when strong winds are involved.

Macdaddy Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Myrtle Beach cam showing this.... https://www.earthcam.com/usa/southcarolina/myrtlebeach/resort/?cam=coralbeach 57 minutes ago, Papa Joe said: 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...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Regarding the upper level conditions, four days ago the NHC discussions talked about day 2 being the best, allowing Florence to max out at 150 mph, and then shear would pick up some as it approached the coast, leading to some weakening. The opposite happened. Shear knocked it down on day 2 and diminished as it approached the coast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 14.25" is as of 8:30 AM and apparently may be an underestimate as the gauge was totally full at measurement time. Not sure where this lies in relation to the USGS gauges, but at least makes their totals more plausible. https://www.cocorahs.org/Admin/DataEntry/ViewDailyPrecipReport.aspx?DailyPrecipReportID=0b230c32-4195-46d8-b55b-670698c50688 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive wind swept rain with a number of small branches down. Not seeing any significant structural damage. folks down there are in my thoughts. I taught at UNCP for a few years and fell in love with the people and area there. Praying you guys get spared the worst of this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds should remain more or less where they are right now for a long while. Flooding rains may be a concern, but totals over 6" should stay to our south and the higher terrain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted a Kestrel but couldn’t get it in time. Unless I say otherwise the wind numbers I post here are directly from KLBT which is a few miles away. Can’t eyeball wind but I’d say the conditions here are similar to that location. The airport just gusted to 61 mph...lol. I'd say you got yourself an AWOS grade anemometer there son.
