Came so close to being a hurricane I think, given another hour over water, it would have become one. That last convective burst was impressive and radar really showed a formative eyewall. NHC said it was pretty much a flip of a coin and landfall winds were somewhere between 60-65 knots. Buoy gust to 83 is impressive and gusts over 70 from Atlantic beach to cape lookout.

This is what the criteria says, and it isn't far off from it at all. 7 Widespread and significant flooding of the town of Washington (including the Washington Park and River Road areas), as well as the community of Whichards Beach. Many homes and businesses will flood in Washington.Many roads will be impassable, especially those adjacent to the Pamlico River and adjacent creeks.

StantonParkHoya Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 It does that with every system coming from the SE. Same with Union point in new bern that everyone keeps posting.

Wannabehippie Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Is the prevailing thought that Ophelia will be downgraded on the next advisory? Ophelia has been a huge rainmaker up and down the coast. But it doesn't look like the wind was a major factor for the most part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 https://www.weather.gov/mhx/OpheliaReview2023 Summary of Ophelia. Some very impressive winds on land along with the buoy reports (some over 80 mph) and recon observations indicate this was extremely close to hurricane strength at landfall. Not sure there’s enough for an upgrade but a 70 mph TS producing numerous 65-75 mph recorded gusts is impressive. It came it at a bad angle for Washington. I have some friends there who said it’s some of the worst flooding they’d experienced and no one expected it to be that bad 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
