Tropical Hurricane Isaias

[eyewall]

This was the first band on approach to Raleigh:

UK further east on 12z run.

It will be interesting to see if it actually tracks west of the sounds. Even money it doesn't.

Looks like that would put landfall between Ocean Isle and Holden Beach.

Also love the Triangle barely getting 1". That would be par for this year.

Pressure has fallen back to 993-994mb with Isaias on the last recon dropsonde. Almost as strong as it was last night

I just hope the beaches and OBX end up okay. Looks like it is going to be roughest along 95.

Isaias is definitely organizing. The northern half of the eyewall now has winds of 92mph on radar. Granted this is about 13k feet up but it hasn’t shown winds this strong all day.

A mid level eye feature is starting to form on the Charleston, SC radar, Isaias definitely looking better here in the last hour or so.

Although it’s tough to tell with radar it sure seems like the LLC and MLC are stacked again or very close to it. Radar looks like an eyewall is almost closed off.

This rain band resembles a left moving MCS

The base elevation scan is still well above the ground level here, id like to see what recon finds when they go back into this storm

Yeah, I'm thinking right over ILM to New Bern so just a hair west. Good by me, no desire to deal with power/trees down. I think it's going to be pretty bad in eastern/coastal NC/SC. I hope it's not though.

 

[Avalanche]

Now that these outer bands have departed the triangle, it makes me wonder if those core bands can come close enough to give us additional rain. It appears, with it moving ne now, that it might barely get close enough.

 

[Webberweather53]

Convection is really starting to fill in over the upshear quad of Isaias, no doubt it’s finally starting to get its act together

Geez that band off the NNW eyewall looks rough.

Who's in MYR today?

 

[Snow_chaser]

Is the nasty thunderstorms we are getting in western Georgia associated with a front or any other feature that will be interacting with Isaias? The 2 storms that just rolled thru my area had some of the wildest lightning I’ve seen in quite sometime.

Yeah a lot of lightning showing up in that band in the NW quad upon closer look. Probably aiming for Shallotte

 

[Webberweather53]

Velocities really ramping up now, we’re up to 85 mph in the NW quad 3 kilometers off the surface, would support upgrading Isaias to a hurricane at the next advisory if radar trends continue

Best the storm has looked since pre-Andros Island

 

[NCSNOW]

Been going to Holden Beach for 30 straight years. Faces due south and the road on one end of the island goes into the ocean from direct hits taking in the past. Web cams there are runing for now

Can't wait till were trying to look at Isaias' core with KTLX's tree issue.
