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 2 minutes ago, Chinook said: Mid-Atlantic winds are picking up a lot.

Rvarookie Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Nice little steady rain few mins ago and been breezy all day. Not fan of cloudy days but today felt nice although tad chilly Hopefully get in on a little action, but if not least there’s something to track 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 57 minutes ago, George BM said: 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. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this isn't as good as the rest posted earlier...but the "hurricane sunset" from our backyard earlier. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
