Tropical Hurricane Ian

[Downeastnc]

Looking at vis loop and the general motion of the storm is still NNE...

 

[thunderwolf]

Probably a wobble as it gets a little better organized. I bet we see more of those wobbles NW (maybe not as dramatic) as it closes in on the coastline.

Sometimes the frictional effects of land have a tendancy to pull storms towards the coast. Could be seeing a bit of that here.

Yeah I'm at the office this morning to close out the quarter and every one here is like oh it'll just be a gust of wind or 2 and I'm like orly?

I think we will see a few max gusts in the 60-65 maybe 70 range with a lot of 50+ which would be one of our bigger tropical system wind events in a while

HRRR only showing in the 40s.

It's going to be impressive around here this afternoon and evening. I'm not sure people are prepared for what we get

I'm prepared because I'm a member of Southernwx.com!

Surge is spiking to about 3 ft above normal at Myrtle Beach

Is it just my eyes or is this thing about to make landfall in Georgetown within the hour

I'm wondering the same thing. Like the occlusion just grabbed the LLC and it is slingshotting it..

Also looks like it's trying hard to close off an eye before landfall

usually those maps are overdone but I do wonder with the gradient if they are more legit than normal.

 

[Metwannabe]

Almost due west atm, will it wobble back north or is this going way south now. Could change those wind maps up in NC later

Hm, interesting change.

Yep IF the NW turn that early is real that changes things a lot for many of us. It's probably only a wobble though.

Would that mean more wind or less wind for nc

Pretty big "wobble" considering it's right off the coast south of Georgetown right now.

Yeah I think we got Nam'd

Seems like a broadening of the center a bit
