Tropical Major Hurricane Michael

Even if it's over doing it, which in my opinion it probably is, but even if you knock 15 or 20 miles per hour off of that still going to be issues.

Yeah normally I would say it's overdone but the 3km NAM also lends support to this idea of an intense backside band, it just shows a little lower winds of 60-75mph in that band instead of the 75-95mph that the HRRR is showing. 850mb winds will be plenty strong at 70-90kts in this band so assuming the dry air helps with mixing this down to the surface... it could get pretty bad.

This has been a hell of a storm. Driving rain. Just relentless. Sun should be out soon
 
What we need to watch is the winds in Charlotte and Asheville the next few hours. The HRRR has things really ramping up there quickly and peaking in Charlotte between 1-3pm. IF the HRRR is right I would expect Charlotte to see winds gusting 60-80mph.
 
Wind spiking rapidly in Shelby, NC. This is a key area to watch as in just a few hours they should be gusting 50-80mph if models are correct with the backside band.

Its important to track the process that drives these winds.
The HRRR is hinting at the lower levels going Dry Adiabatic. This could allow the upper level winds to filter down in the form of gusts at near 100% effectiveness.

This is the driving factor behind our winds. It is a fairly rare event across our area. It is also highly volatile and unpredictable.

Glad to see you finally joined Preston! The 3km NAM is running now and new HRRR run as well, winds are spiking in western nc right now so everything appears on track.
