Pattern 12/15-19 Coastal!!!!!

The GFS is going east it looks like with this as it now has the low passing CHS 50 miles to the southeast and not onshore until Wilmington NC. Tons of rain in eastern NC, with some places nearing 8 inches. It is basically dry for AL and northwest GA.
 
Been in Elfland NC with family now heading to Boone

For why? It's just a rain storm and it doesn't pose a threat to anyone.

Well it is likely to be a high impact event due to high winds and heavy rain for much of the east coast. Also there is a threat of coastal flooding as well. NOAA often uses the Hurricane Hunters during the winter months to gather data on what’s expected to be high impact events.
 
I was afraid of this ...
I talked about a potential of sting jets the other day...

High Winds --
There is a risk for high winds for Sunday. There could be two
distinct wind events; one in the morning with strong low-level
jetting in the warm sector with the second being a possible sting
jet scenario unfolding for the afternoon/evening. First, winds will
increase along the coast with gusts 40-45 mph likely. Gusts could be
locally higher along beaches and other exposed areas (such as areas
adjacent to the Charleston Harbor) where fictional influences will
be less. In fact, the 16/12z HREF mean shows wind gusts nearing 60
mph at times along parts of the Charleston County Coast. A Wind
Advisory has been posted 6 AM until 2 PM for all coastal zones to
account for these winds. There will also be an increased risk to
high-profile vehicles on the elevated bridges around the Charleston
and Savannah Metro Areas. The second event could unfold during the
afternoon hours as the mid-level cyclone passes by. There are
signals that a sting jet feature could develop along the nose of a
descending wind max within the cold conveyor positioned along the
west and southwest flanks of the mid-level cyclone. Sting jets are
notoriously difficult to forecast, but do have a well documented
history of producing wind damage. It will be interesting to see
how/if this materializes. Additional wind products may be needed if
this feature develops.
