Tropical 94L - PTC to be issued later today

Dang didn’t realize the hurricane models were biting so hard on a stronger storm

It’s worth noting there may be some more error than usual in these models because I believe they are not built for more than one storm. I don’t know that they’ll “see” Humberto

Yeah I'm trying to stress that this situation is pretty much unprecedented. There's never been two hurricanes that close to each other for a reason. Will that reason hold up here is the question
 
Allan is watching this closely…

Allan Huffman is not the only one watching this closely after last night's model runs. There is still a lot of uncertainty but the plot has thickened as far as a possible tropical storm or hurricane paying the Southeast a visit. A lot will depend on Humberto and how what is now
94L interacts with it. A stronger Humberto and a slower track for 94L will enhance the pull on this system out to sea. If the opposite happens then it will interact with the atmospheric features along the Southeast coast which will steer it towards the mainland. This will be interesting to watch.
 
Interesting/concerning stuff weaker early on allows it to get caught in the upper level low blob over the SE and get farther away from Humbeto. Then this actually yields a stronger storm late since it interacts with the jet streak up the apps and the jet off of the NE coast.
My brain still goes back to the AI from 4 or 5 days ago that developed something later south of Cuba and raced it north. More separation between the storms will certainly increase the risk to the SE

For sure. No reason to think the models will handle this system well when they struggle in much simpler scenarios!
 
Let’s hope this storm doesn’t get left behind and trapped like the gfs/cmc show. Would be especially awful if that happens over the mountains. This set up has very high end flooding potential assuming that plays out.
I’m getting ahead of myself here but a notable backdoor front into a remnant TC is not a situation I can recall seeing before. I’m not sure I know what that would do rain-wise

But let’s figure out if this storm will even do anything first

precip enhancement. think in situ cad- isentropic lift over the cold(er) dome. it's an element that made matthew potent that doesn't get talked about a lot
 
I find WPC windshield wiper will be interesting to follow. IIRC they use a blend.

Two days ago vs this morning

I guess we have been lucky since Helene last year with avoiding a landfall in NC and SC. Looks like Imelda could be changing that next week.

You’re not even mentioning Chantal, which had a landfall in SC and a major impact in especially parts of C NC earlier this year with tornadoes and record 24 rainfall in some areas. Most years don’t have that much impact in the Carolinas.
 
yeah i was wondering if that would be it. something to keep an eye on
it's a look you'd recognize and would make sense theoretically. enhanced easterlies beef up veering wind profile, more WAA, more lift. on the northern fringe dry air eats into qpf and there's a sharp gradient
 
A bit west as well. Let's see if it increase the threat to SC
if (big if) this storm threads the needle and avoids humberto interaction, I think a SC landfall is favored as I think both the ULL and the HP that builds in from the north will limit how much latitude this can climb
