If this band comes ashore I will get some video.

Is ILM radar the one with the tree issues?

Yep, but supposedly they have a plan to move the dish.

Felt a decent gust within last half hour or so, airport reported 25 mph gust, the station in RR on the ECONet has recorded 22.5, metwannabe PWS 14 Lol

No surprise at all, it would have to hook hard left right now for that not too happen and I'll not be shocked to see it a little NE of that

It’s a nor’easter now though. Not sure what benefit we are even getting with being further east at this point other than it being even more drizzly and miserable .

 

[Cary_Snow95]

It looks like those that were skeptical of a hard left turn giving the steering mechanisms were correct. Wants to keep going north and just slightly feel the tug west

I think the core still has some tropical characteristics, so that could still be a little more impactful along the coast with exact landfall. It will also still have a core of stronger winds that exact landfall will determine where a few of the strongest gust are, overall it means nothing for you and I as far as our backyards go but I like tracking regardless of that

Recon should be entering the system now, should know how tropical it still is, and what kind of winds it has especially at the surface...

Is there any chance it misses the hook inland?

 

[Downeastnc]

I do recall in Charley that the S side had some pretty violent downburst like wind gust as the dry air wrapped around the south side...nothing crazy but something to watch for...

Also helps enhance the rain numbers for us Central nc peeps

Yep, plus with that thunderstorm activity in the center I bet it's still tropical at this point, hybrid sure but still tropical system. Idk if nor'easters have that much lightning in the center. Recon should give some good info

 

[Downeastnc]

Wind is kicking up rather quickly here, probably 30-35 in gust now

I hate that my best location for my tempest is still somewhat blocked from N and NE winds. I'm tempted to relocate today temporarily so I can get a better reading ?

Do you find precip accuracy issues with your tempest? I find they do well with lighter/moderate rain, but heavy rain the totals are soooo bad.

Actually best I can tell precip has been fairly accurate, nothing glaring to me there that stands out.... I will say it got better once I turned the Rain Check feature off (I'm in rural area that seems less accurate when there aren't other stations close by)

Thanks 1300m!

I feel like so far the winds have been fairly calm here in apex .. not noticeable at all as of right now and barely seeing the trees sway.. assuming we have to wait to get into some heavier bands but we’ve had .5 so far here so that’s nice
