Tropical Hurricane Isaias

If Raleigh dry slots like that I’m driving east to Goldsboro. Heck I’m probably driving around in this thing regardless.
We should only hope for the dry slot. 1.5" is plenty. Plus the winds (even from a minimal storm) will cause widespread tree down-age where the heaver qpf amounts occur. Currently I see this storm as a low risk for a widespread event, but could/will cause issues for a select few near the path.
 
Pretty fascinating watching this evolve on radar, I do think we are seeing solid structural improvements and the meso vorticies spinning up are pretty sick.

Yeah a period of 35-45 gusts during full leaf out is going to cause some issues especially in places that have seen significant rain over the last 14 days.
Then I got nothing to worry about wind wise, heck trees already shedding leaves...
 
Let's go!!

Don't like the sound of this; I believe SD has already mentioned this; from the NHC 11 am update:

Some baroclinic
interaction with the right-rear quadrant of an anticyclonically
curved jet streak is expected to hold the intensity a little above
what would normally be expected for a post-landfall tropical cyclone
in 48-72 hours.

A TS watch has been added for a large part of the Eastern half of the NE Piedmont from Wake County Eastward Because Wake County is now also under a tropical storm watch as well.
