I was going to change the name of the thread but I’m not seeing the option. Someone educate me. Is that a mod only thing?

Go to the first post, press the 3 dots in the corner, press edit. At the top you should be able to edit the title.

Good afternoon everyone.

I think it's good to note that the ULL is going to drop a lot of that rain at least IMBY before the hurricane gets here.  Totals are totals, but I think a lot of people think these totals are coming from just the Helene.  It's kinda wild to me that we will get an ULL and then a Hurricane right behind it.  Don't recall that scenario in my years of tracking.

The amount of rain being shown from the ULL is absolutely being influenced by Helene. That's the PRE.

Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected due to the

    interaction of tropical moisture along a stationary front,

    followed by the passage of Tropical Storm Helene. Storm-total

    rainfall of 8-12 inches is expected along the entire length

    of the Blue Ridge Escarpment with widespread 5-8 inches

    expected across the remainder of the mountains as well as the

    Piedmont. This has the potential to be an extremely rare

    event with significant and damaging flash-flooding along

    numerous streams.

Really worried about my property in Old Fort. I'm up in the northeast for this week and have tried getting away from work to make it home to prepare. Unofrtunately, won't be able to. Hopefully don't return this weekend to too much damage.

Quite the wobble north on the last several frames. This could have major impacts downstream. Sheer is nearly gone, outflow is starting to establish a nice moist envelope ahead of it. If it can avoid landfall in the Yucatán…. Bombs away. I’m actually wondering if a close shave with the Yucatán could be a worse case scenario. Friction with the coast could tighten up any primitive core quickly. That scenario would also lend credit to the models projecting landfall just north of Cedar Key - which increases the odds of putting the remnant core directly over western NC and the Upstate.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for
rapid onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a
very dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically
flood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take
action quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
