Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Local TV stations in Wilmington are so busy talking about the tornado warnings that they haven't been able to report on where Dorian is heading.
 
Seems there is less traffic on the thread today. I thought it would be busier now that Dorian is actually on the doorstep and with the tornado threat.

Worst of the weather (aside from tornado threat) to hit this evening with eye approaching and sting jet that models are depicting over eastern NC. I expect people need to take a bit of a pause before the triple threat onslaught. HRRR showing convective elements covering much of NC from Triangle eastward to Pamlico Sound starting this evening.

Maybe so. I was afraid everyone was so burned out from tracking Dorian that they are done talking about it now that it is here.

Almost every model has the wind maximum showing up in Eastern NC now. Obviously some are over done but could certainly be an issue tonight into tomorrow morning. Location is still up in the air depending on where the storm ends up

I'm sure that is part of it too. But since it didn't get to 80.001 degrees west the threat is gone;). It will pick up when people get off work. A lot of people are trying to get things wrapped up in case there are outages or preparing.

I haven't had much time to settle in and look at stuff until now (although I did watch some waves for a few minutes), but I just found a flood stream in Murrells Inlet, SC and it's honestly getting a bit nuts if they stay (Brett Adair). I'm also tired and a little ill (and this is unrelated).

He is doing a live hit however so they might get out of dodge soon.

Also uhhh, we're going to have a landfall soon if Dorian doesn't take a hard ENE turn like....very soon. Edit: and the last frame or two does look east but it might be a wobble.

We're getting more rain than I thought.

Last few frames of my radar looks like he is moving east

Probably a wobble, NHC still has NNE as of 2 pm. I thought it had turned NE earlier and it wobbled back, smooth those out and still on a NNE heading. Recon is currently in there though, so if it has moved east of north more we will know soon
 
I have a friend already saying no power in Raleigh where they evacuated to

Gonna have to have more east wobble than north wobbles if he is going to stay on or east of the NHC track, once he speeds up the wobbling will smooth out and I think the more inland track Cape Fear/MHX/Hatteras is likely if it doesnt make a good east turn in the next 4-5 hrs....

Yeah I tend to agree with this, also of note if I'm not mistaken he is already further NW then any of today's model runs showed..... which is why I basically have quit looking at them. Just monitor radar now but I'm afraid ILM is going to get rocked
