NEGa Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wow it sure is quiet here with the pending storm lol. The tropical storm and flood watches have been extended a bit in ga - looks like a fast mover but a couple of hours or some wild weather. Parts of ga look to be in action during the morning rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wowzers. Likely overdone. But the GFS doesn't overdo gusts to the same degree the Euro does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really a unique event given its hyper forward speed...and Winds just off the surface are impressive on models..especially wrf/hmon. Going to be really interesting to see how the still strong circulation interacts with the high topography over north ga and the upstate. The ridge tops from your area down to Rome could see some really high winds. Although some of the stronger winds aloft move overhead here, the lack of convection probably keeps most of the gusts in check here. In fact, Looks like it could be a real screwjob rain wise where im at. Zeta almost a cat 3.....110 at 4pm advisory with radar out of New Orleans showing 135mph winds and recon has 113 knot. LA just can't catch a break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Most models keep me dry with really strong 925mb winds over central and eastern NC. If we get some sun and breaks in the clouds to aid mixing then we arent out of the woods here either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated with High Res NAM, and it's about the same. With the way 2020 has been, and the fact it's on all the models I've seen, I'd say its the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstate Tiger Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just lost power here in Cherryville. Winds sustained at 25. Had pre-booked a trip to Bryson City back in the summer to ride the train and look at leaves. Supposed to depart at 230 today. Called them to see if it’s still on.....the lady said we’ve never canceled for weather. Guess we’re going to BC! We do have a waterfall horseback ride scheduled for tomorrow. Should be a perfect day to ride. Everyone be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's really picking up in the Triad now. We've had a couple gusts around 40mph in the last 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It’s a little breezy today There are some trees down, branches and a ton of leaves flying around, but so far imby it’s not too bad. Had a few gusts about 50ish mph so far and I believe there’s a report of 60ish near here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees down, power flickering, branches slamming the side of the house and nearly every leaf is now in my yard. I foresee a sunny weekend cleanup and burn pile. And there goes the power.
