Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Lol. If it’s not the gfs/euro combination then I wouldn’t be so worried in Georgia for a landfall. Some of the models have been an embarrassment going into central Florida or the gulf.
Yeah, like the HWRF, when everyone laughed it off for it’s absurd cat 5 runs!? Sometimes you can’t count on the big 2 models

UKIE has landfall on Cape Fear and MHX after skirting SC.....the only model not showing a landfall in NC is the Euro and it is literally 20 miles off the coast....and who knows what it will do at 12Z today

Also noted it was strengthening into landfall which was a bit of surprise. I guess we need to start trying to figure out that part as well. As you and others have showed can make all the difference just inland.
 
Add Bill Walsh to that list. I know both of them personally and they have been here for 30 plus years and are definitely more than just on air broadcasters just reporting. Charleston really is fortunate to have both on air here.

With that I'm sure after they see these model runs, they will address the threat level may have increased.
Probably so, and to be fair to 2 it wasn't during the normal weather portion of the newscast IIRC. The 'x' percent chance of 'y' mph winds was what they were talking about and it caught my attention because I had that exact page open on the NHC site.
 
12z HWRF.......shift west, but manages to keep the eye wall slightly off the SC coast. This is the HMON and GFS position just north of Charleston...

12z HWRF with NC landfall.....hard to tell but looks like he is every so slightly on the coastline between Charleston to this point.

Euro use to be the trend setter now it’s the trend follower.

The Euro has done well imo. It was the first model to show that long stall on runs a number of days ago that some wouldn't believe. Once it had the stall, every run afterward had it. It not getting kudos would be ridiculous and ignoring reality. OTOH, the UKMET had some awful runs into the GOM.
