Looks like the rain will be here a bit earlier than expected tonight?

I was just wondering about this...my family is bugging the crap out of me to start the wood firepit for a few hours before the rain arrives....but the rain looks to be pushing up from between RIC/FXBG right now? I'm thinking a firepit will need to be put out within an hour or two?  #HELP

With the high clouds over Illinois and near the Mississippi River fairly far to the west areas that do not have to many low clouds from Ophelia yet, especially from the metro region westwards, may experience a, at least, briefly gorgeous sunset before any of the aforementioned Midwest clouds try to cut the show short (they're pretty far west so we'll see how long a gorgeous sunset lasts). The further WNW you are the better. (Medium confidence)

GREAT call.

Honestly the “hurricane sunset” associated with tropical systems is probably what I’m most excited for with this storm.

I sent my drone up when I read your post

Round Hill looking west (that's Rt 7 on the right)

Maybe an eyewall trying to form? Some lightning in there as well!

Watching that too. Want to see if it can fully wrap upshear. If so, that could lead to another convective burst to push it over the top. Even if it doesn’t, the frictional convergence nearing landfall could allow the center to contract and become more symmetrical. HAFS A & B show this right at landfall.

First drops of rain here. Really enjoying the wind with the windows open. First time with no AC in months. 

EXACTLY this...so very nice to have the windows open most of the evening! Also, this isn't as good as the rest posted earlier...but the "hurricane sunset" from our backyard earlier.
