Tropical Hurricane Francine

I’m very skeptical, but hard to describe what 15+ inches of rain would do to downtown Atlanta

Looks like a nam snowstorm map lol. I agree with you, I think North Georgia and Atlantas totals are based on CAD and even that hasn’t turned out well lately.

It seems as though this Storm weakened very fast!

It wasn't very strong to begin with. I don't think it truly was a Cat 2. It looked like a strong tropical storm, not a hurricane. In any case, it made landfall in the almost best possible spot to avoid much damage. I think it was hyped pretty good.

I'd probably cut those totals by about 2/3rds. However, if training of storms happens due to the stalling progression of the remnants of Francine, some locally heavy amounts could materialize. That 15" is over three days and it's been really dry so I bet the ground can handle it.

Yeah, and over most of the same area too. It'll probably end up around 4-5 inches though unless a major band parks in the area.

Edit: it is still there on the 6z Euro too, but slightly farther east.

NBM has widespread 3" to 4" amounts for Atlanta. I think it would be very welcome. I'm discounting the Euro output for now.

Can you show it? Thanks
 
I know whamby, but I’ll believe those rainfall totals when I see them. So far I’m not convinced. Both NAMs are fairly dry through the weekend. When I say dry, I mean < .5”

Pulled from the day 2 WPC Excessive Rainfall Discussion. Similar things mentioned for Day 3 as well.

“The combination of these features will likely result in a corridor of persistent low level convergence over TN/AL/GA. We should have plenty of moisture and instability in place as well, and thus a
notable flash flood risk could continue. We will carry a higher end Slight risk across portions of TN/AL/GA with this update. Depending on what happens on day 1 (impacting soil and streamflow
conditions) can not rule out needing a MDT risk over a portion of this area. However there is a bit more uncertainty on convective details by Friday compared to Thursday, and so would like to
continue to evaluate future high res model runs, as well as see how convection evolves today, before making any decision on an
upgrade. Either way flash flooding appears possible, and a locally considerable threat could evolve.”
