Tropical 94L - PTC to be issued later today

I'm a little worried about the stalling potential of this storm. If the Upper-Level Low is able to tap into this tropical systems moisture it could mean torrential rainfall for much of SC, NC, and VA. The good thing is that rain is needed in much of the SE but the problem in drought conditions is that the rain kind of stands on the ground since it's so hard.
 
As far as the conditions most of us in Central North Carolina might see, Florence might be a good comparison. 94L may become a slow moving Category 1 hurricane like Florence wherever it comes ashore dumping buckets of rain along its path. Florence broke many rainfall records for NC coastal communities with around 35 inches being recorded in Elizabeth City and 25 in Wilmington. In the KRDU area, rainfall totals ranged anywhere from six to eight inches around Raleigh and up to twelve inches in some locations south of Raleigh.

Elizabeth City did NOT get 35” of rain. I think you mean Elizabethtown in Bladen County.
 
0z GFS even slower with the vorticity through 24. My guess would be it stays offshore again but we will see what happens
 
I think 94L is going to become strong enough to ignore anything Humberto has going on.

Edit. I guess it’s just going to do whatever Humberto does. Crazy.
 
0Z UKMET: once again like the Icon OTS on every run

0Z JMA at 72 (limit for 0Z) implies later absorption by the much stronger pretty nearby Humberto

0Z CMC stays OTS unlike 12Z, which looped back to NC

Edit: But CMC later does turn N and hit E MA!

0z Euro stays well offshore. This is a tight situation for sure but landfall prospects seem to be dwindling. Crazy this has slowed down by a full day in the last 24 hours

Once an actual center of circulation is identified then I think the models will get a better handle on what this system will do. Three things might explain the shift in the models we have seen over the last twelve hours that stall and take 94L out to sea in Humberto's footsteps:

1. A stronger blocking high pressure
2. The strength of Humberto is higher than initially forecasted
3. The delayed development of 94L

It will also be interesting to see how quickly the Atlantic trough kicks Humberto out and if it leaves Imelda behind, allowing ridge to build overtop. Like AI shows, but again that's only model doing that atm. All others have it heading ots with H
 
The last frame of 6Z Euro has this stop its ENE movement and then suddenly drift back due W fwiw as Humberto accelerates away and the upper high builds enough to its N to change the steering.

Although this is the only major op doing this, 40% of the 6Z EPS do not escape and most of those stall not too far offshore and then attain a W component of motion.

Huge difference between 6Z and 0Z
