Looks like the 18z tropical models have shifted a bit east.

Eye looks like it's clearing out on IR or is that dry air again?
Cat 4 winds way up in the atmosphere in the E quad. Based on the current organizational trends, should be mixing down in the next few hours.

Just went over 5” on my station. In about 24 hours. Guessing we’ll be flirting with a total of 10” before it’s all done

Just put out my strictly hurricane bucket a few hours ago, and already have 1 3/8's in there. That gets me over 5 too. Edit: the Experiment Station has 1.54. Just got a flash flood warning with another 3 inches possible thru the period. Fun, squishy times ahead. On top of 1 to 1.5 having already fallen since midnight.

No one should be making absolute statements about whether the center is going to be east or west of Atlanta. This is the only absolute statement that can be made...

The flood forecast for Asheville is terrible. French Broad is expected to crest at 21ft. River arts district and everything along the river will be submerged.
Maybe a little more gas in the tank but looking at IR and radar, I don’t know how much more.
How much time before Helene makes landfall? Looks like she is going to make a run for cat 4.

Swannanoa river at Biltmore village. I hope they're prepared man, this will be awful if it pans out. Forecasted to crest 24 hours from now.

Zulu time is basically GMT time. 3Z is 11pm EST.

Most of the models have the pressure bottoming out around 7pm, then rising 1 or 2mb at landfall a few hours later. As such, we still have 3-4 hours of pressure falls to come i'd say, and the winds haven't caught up to the 10mb drop we've had in the last few hours. I think 140-145mph is easily attainable.
952 mb.
WRAL weather is watching rotation over Johnson County moving north toward Wake.

951mb. Thats a low pressure for 120 mph. This may be a rare case where cat 3 winds verify on land
