Santa Claus Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Amazing to think this could remain tropical for another 48 hours. FSU phase space diagrams indicate the gradual loss of tropical characteristics (nothing you can't find from radar anyway), but the diagrams based on the GFS show just how slow the degradation has been.

Helps that there's no front around to interact anytime soon (even when Florence gets toward Ohio the front is still back in the western Midwest).

I posted a radar snapshot of where that band was just before 2 pm and here it is 5 hours later and it finally made it to the outskirts. Incredible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 NC state rainfall record has almost certainly fallen, probably been surpassed on Morehead City by this point, as they are back into some of the mod-heavier bands shifting back east. Probably hard to get accurate numbers right now due to power outages and the fact so many roads are impassable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. Drove into Scotts Hill to document the absolute brunt of the eyewall. From there, drove into the center of the eye near Wrightsville beach. Been really busy posting updates and damage pics on Twitter. Now, I just got a tornado warning alert on my phone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the NHC forecast potentially conservative? Not that it matters too much as sensible weather. But as a weather nerd discussion, is this tropical on the 18th? That's unbelievable!

With seemingly hours and hours more to go, according to radar. I have a feeling once airborne photography is able to launch after the bands pass, we are going to see devastating, Harvey-eque images. That radar has looks essentially the same for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Wow at the CC drop with the strongish couplet Just SW of Wilmington. That’s about as strong a tornado signal as you’ll see with one of these feeder band mini-sups. And at night, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 People need to realize now devastating the river flooding is going to be as well. Cape Fear river is already at record flood stage (surpassing record set in Floyd) and is forecast to rise another 4.5 feet. Still raining over that basin although rates have decreased. ILM area continues to get pounded. Hearing of many water resources ongoing in that area in particular. ILM just updated their climate data: 1.50 Thursday + 9.58 Friday + 7.44 Satuday = 18.52" + 2.59 today" (as of 6 am) = 21.11" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfStock Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 That Bogue Sound gauge now shows 51.56" for the last 3 days. 7am-7am, working back: 5.07 +22.85 +23.64 = 51.56 inches Edit: Being on the water though (bridge over the inter-coastal), I wonder if some of that is from spray.

Hurricane Agnes Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 OMG watching the radar, the bands that had slowly crawled from NE --> SW to finally reach and overspread Wilmington yesterday evening, are now reversing and moving SW --> NE as the TD circulation center starts to lift to the WNW, and are smacking them again (also as a note, KLTX is back up again).
