Tropical Tropical Storm Nestor

Very beneficial rains for most of us if the NAM is in the ball bark, which I believe it is, at least according to my "great and unmatched wisdom." ;)

Looking at visible satellite and observations from the NOAA plane it looks like a new center is trying to form further east closer to the large convective blob.

It does appear that may be the case and would certainly give it the best opportunity to take full advantage of it's small intensification window
 
Anyone have the wind gust map from this new Nam? I’m sure it’s unrealistic but I bet it’s impressive map

It would be surprising to me to see the bulk of the rain in central NC. Fingers crossed, hope so.
 
It’s not unusual for the precip max on the NW flank of such a storm. Either way, I think we will all walk away with beneficial rain.

Looks like it shows a nice swath of 40-50 mph gust even up through Central/eastern SC/NC but if Dorian taught us nothing it taught us these modeled wind gust are way overdone.
 
But I mean the 12Z extended HRRR shows gusts over 40mph into SC
It showed wind gust well over that with Dorian that didn't pan out..... I'm not saying it won't happen but I'd knock those down some and go with that. Just ask @Downeastnc I think he was monitoring that very closely and none of those models verified
 
Definitely interesting to have a 60 MPH storm that is not named.

Guess the Gulf can call this their little own "Gulf-easter" (although this will eventually go straight to Nestor).

I get it though. Looks decent on IR but the circulation still seems broad.

Correct they all well over stated the wind here, the HRRR had us getting 60-80 mph gust for 4-5 hrs and the 3k NAM had 60-70 mph and our official peak gust was 48......also keep in mind a lot of those higher values in the east side on the current NAM runs are associated with thunderstorms and not the ambient wind field mixing down.....
