If we're lucky. Would be nice to get ~2" and then see a few 30/40mph gust and call it a day. Anything more and were looking at issues.

Tropical storm warnings expanded west. Now includes Wake. Ok.
Sending good vibes from Alabama to all of you in the path of the storm. ?
Wish they had the counties on these maps.

Gonna be some tornados on the east side that feeder band on that frame is just one big line of hooky rotating low top supes.......

0.31” in the band that came through around 1030, did get some 25-30mph gusts. Waiting on the next one. It’s like the whole southern half of the storm is missing on IR and radar, next pulse looks to be underway. With the center going right over us or just west, PGV precip min, calling it now.
Holy cow. Thanks for the pic. Glad you're ok!

Yeah it’s been insane. Just keeps training right over us. Have over 4 inches just since 7AM this morning. Just got back from Morganton and most of the main roads are dry down there, ~15 miles down the road.
Next area of storms for the triangle starting to bubble down in Bladen, Cumberland, Sampson
That shows a landfall Brunswick County.

Just about to wrap the "center" with storms.....I suspect it looks a lot more hurricane like the last 6 hrs or so before landfall, almost all the high res models show the center will firm up as the storm starts getting close....

Latest vortex fix has the center in a much more stacked configuration re convection. Also seems like there was a NE reformation.

Looks like we are starting to turn the corner now

Looks like that would put landfall between Ocean Isle and Holden Beach.
It will be interesting to see if it actually tracks west of the sounds. Even money it doesn't.

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.

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.

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

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.
Webberweather53
Meteorologist
Yeah a lot of lightning showing up in that band in the NW quad upon closer look. Probably aiming for Shallotte
Webberweather53
Meteorologist
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

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.
