Time sensitive but could these be gravity waves on water vapor ejecting south out of the center?
Looking more ominous for the NRV. Meanwhile, that model only show 0.35 in of rain for KCAE.RGEM really dumped at 18z
I can’t imagine down towards SC/GA border not getting 2-3”.

Well now...
One thing I notice, is that on the new run the bend back west doesn’t begin until it’s around 32 degrees North. Whereas 18z has that turn around 30.7 N. Makes a huge difference
There’s definitely still enough tropical characteristics to still call it a hurricane, but I do think it is taking on some extra-tropical characteristics as well. You are right that even if it were ET, the NHC is going to continue treating it as a hurricane… they got too much grief back in 2012 for not issuing hurricane warnings for the Maryland and NJ coasts with SandyI dont really believe Ian is tropical anymore, and has undergone ET. The only reason why NHC is still keeping it alive is because this will still be a bad storm coming ashore tomorrow.
It's going to become more expansive by morning.The rain field is looking pretty anemic to me.
