Seems like a pretty good west wobble currently on the Jax radar

Saw this on the Facebook page for my son's school.
For information about whether schools will be closed or delayed due to the hurricane, please watch the news, check our website or follow WCPSS on Twitter. They will have the word out before the school is even notified. Our phone lines are being jammed with calls and we don't have an answer.
Wake County Schools closed tomorrow.

Recon just found an extrap pressure of 960.5, was in the mid 960s earlier this morning. Core is also heating up and some evidence of drying aloft in the eye. Also flight level winds of 110kts in the SE quad.

Here's the two most recent passes, note the core is heating up and the dewpoint drying out. The pressure profile is a bit sharper and also drops more vs the last pass. Flight level winds are increasing as well.
It has been said that a stronger storm would go NE more so than a weaker storm. So the fact it’s strengthening some , may keep it from the more NW track and save the coast from an actual landfall
Per satellite/radar, I've seen no evidence that the center has made it to or is about to reach as far west as 80.0W. The longer it holds off 80.0W, the better for at least lower SC. It was at 79.8 W at 3 PM. I don't think it has any west component of motion currently.
Correct, if anything seeing much more Northward motion now. Glad to see at least so far for GA/Southern SC, it wasn't just a "wobble".

Information for CHS folks - if until 5pm today or after the storm you need a generator, gas cans, water, tarps, extension cords, etc I was just in Home Depot at US17 and Six Mile in Mt Pleasant and they are loaded. Many places are sold out but this particular HD just got a truck in this afternoon.
Current conditions here it's been overcast with intermittent light rain since the first squall this morning at 8am. Winds are 3, Gusting to 7 ENE

Is the airport in a more windy spot? I saw where it reported a 30 mph gust already at 13:56. Mt Pleasant even reported 23 mph.
3k nam setting up areas of precipitation. Maybe hinting some strong outer bands tomorrow morning over Central NC. FWIW nam faster and further east.

officially no increase in winds from the NHC yet but the pressure is down 2 mb for the first time in days

Well we worried about the turn when he was heading towards Florida now we worry about the turn heading towards NC. As I've said angle of approach will be huge. Will it be NNE more through the sounds or NE more along the capes.....big question and big differences for eastern NC.

It has not crossed over 80, only a small portion of the eye has.

I mean, isn't that close enough to be worried?
Its wobbing towards 80.

The airport is a bit inland, but their official station is sited in an open area so I imagine winds would be recorded a bit higher there than in the residential neighborhoods that are closer to the coast. My PWS in the backyard is 4 miles from the ocean and has the anemometer on my chimney 2 stories up, but I am surrounded by other houses and trees so it is a bit "protected." To get a true sense of the winds I would recommend looking at WU stations on Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island on the ocean front. I've seen gusts over 50 and sustained in the high 20s and low 30s there.
