Waiting on this band to swing on through. Should be fun.

So I guess no upgrade at 5pm.....really dont understand why there is no plane in this storm with it literally right on the coast....and showing signs of deepening...

The evidence isn’t conclusive even though isaias looks better on radar.

wind ripping....turn up the sound

 

[Ollie Williams]

This should be exciting!

Looks like a tornado watch is now up for parts of the coastal Carolinas.

This buoy here will be close to the eyewall most likely. Right now sustained at 47mph gusting to 63mph.

Is it me or does it look like two vorts competing here?

 

[WeatherNC]

Two items, Isais is a strong contender for most lightning, at least in the ATL from a TC. Even the bands today over the Carolinas were active, and the show through the Bahamas and east of FL was epic. 2nd KLTX radar sucks, always has and in need of an upgrade or forest management, don’t know what to believe.

Pressure is dropping at that buoy referenced above, down to 999mb as of 4:40pm. Might get a decent idea of the pressure since it will be close to the center.

70mph gusts now, def picking up

 

[Rain Cold]

Getting hammered by a big tropical shower now. Even @SD Going to get smoked!

 

[snowlover91]

Buoy 41004 is down to 998mb and E winds gusting near 60mph still.

 

[Shaggy]

Simple fact is that even though he looks so much better than he did this morning we just need a plane in there to confirm his organization. He has 6 more hours that's not a lot of time.

Thank goodness for that buoy's location because otherwise the data gap is ridiculous.

Here's a good webcam from Oak Island.

Down to 997 at that buoy and gusting near 60mph still. I’m guessing the pressure is around 990 or so. Hopefully this buoy will give us a good idea.

 

[eyewall]

Holy hell at the shelf cloud that just came through. Drone shots to come.

 

[snowlover91]

Plotted that buoy in RadarScope. Based on that it looks like the center will pass over it!

 

[Downeastnc]

Cloud tops warming, but radar continues to improve....

It’s a hurricane for whatever reason there not calling it one

Sure did .75 in about 20 minutes up to 1.25 on the day

 

[Shaggy]

Planes on the way so we should have an idea in an hour or 2. Cant see this being stronger than 75- 80mph max

 

[Ollie Williams]

Cool radar app called Weather-lab 3D.

I think it’s at around 75 and probably what it make landfall as

995mb at that buoy with sustained winds of 37kts as of 5:40...

 

[WeatherNC]

0.46” womp womp, looks like we are done for now and the icing will come from a right side clip. Tops warm as you gain latitude, but no doubt IR is waining while WV is still looking excellent for those along and west of 95 up the entire eastern seaboard.

 

[NCSNOW]

Sun,partly sunny and 9mph breeze

Still sitting at .05, rain shield fully deployed let's see if it holds

Got my Tempest Weather Station today! Trying to get it set up before dark. We'll see.

I had a Davis back in the day and Bertha tore up the anemometer.

Buoy 41004 down to 993.5mb pressure with winds of 37kts still. This could be sub 990mb.

If only we had planes that could fly into tropical systems to conduct recon...

 

[Myfrotho704_]

@eyewall how legit looking is that shelf ? Hoping I can get in on that band

 

[snowlover91]

Buoy is down to 991.9mb with gusts over 50mph still. Yikes.

The good news is recon should be there in roughly an hour! This buoy should give us a great idea though, it is smack dab in the middle of the center now so once we get all the updates from it (delayed 10-30 mins) we will have a good idea. Looks sub 990mb though to me based on trends.

 

[snowlover91]

As of the 6:10pm update that buoy is down to 989.8mb with winds of 29kts still.
