Basically the whole place has to be underwater with that surge based on what I remember from visiting. Very flat.

Yeah didn't have time to really catch up to the pressure falls....needed a ERC and 12 more hrs before landfall to really get that going.
You’re right. Even in places that were a considerable distance from the eye and despite it being such a compact storm. This was my concern the other night that surge estimates seemed low for a category 3 coming in at a full moon along a stretch of coast that is very susceptible to surge.
Charles Peek is showing damage in Perry.

Is it just me or is anyone else thinking this individual isn't very bright for driving around in a Cat 4/3 hurricane.

I feel pretty safe in saying that if you dont see rain from pop up storms this evening and you're north of 85 in the triangle, you may not see more than a couple tenths at best.

Depending on how much it gets hollowed out we might get a good storm here.
Valdosta, GA now has winds gusting to 68mph… it appears they are going to get hit hard by that NW eyewall that smashed Perry

You know it’s interesting that with both Michael and now with Idalia, that the nw and west part of the eyewall has the strongest winds to the surface. I wonder if there is something about the geography of that stretch of the coast that contributes to this.

Nailed Idalia’s eye earlier.
Min pressure graph per Kestrel 5500 (altitude adjusted) was 28.19 (954.6 mb)

Always such a sharp cutoff with precip. Bone dry up here in Greenville
2 deaths confirmed from Hurricane Idalia.
Atleast you usually win on the snow cut off line. I lose out on both.

I know there are far more dangerous impacts ongoing woth idalia today and tomorrow but long term of she sits out there for 8 days spinning around the surf, beach erosion and overwash on the OBX will be significant
Curfew in Madison County, Florida from 8 PM-8 AM tonight.
There isn't much water on the eastern side of the eye and the long peninsula impends the energy if they are close to the western coast of Florida, so not a lot of energy can be picked up on that side. And, the fetch from the Atlantic comes around to the NW side of the storm, making it the "bad" side. That is my theory.

The eye went to the south side of Valdosta and the NW rain shield is in Atlanta. Guess there's a 1st for everything. If the eye had gone through Macon we'd probably be seeing rain all the way to Chattanooga.
Little bit of a shift NW with QPF for NC folks
