Tropical Hurricane Zeta

[Arcc]

Anyone think TS Watches will make it into the Upstate?

If the HWRF is right, absolutely.

TWC still sticking with 50-60mph gust come early Thursday morning, I wouldn’t be surprised if school closing started rumbling . ( the ones that are actually open).

The outflow around Zeta is incredible. If it can tighten its core(hard to predict) I wouldn’t be surprised to see a decent amount of strengthening.

Well, there is the answer to my question.

And the HWRF continues to go bonkers(18z HMON is a good bit weaker). HWRF is Cat 2-3 at landfall and may need inland hurricane warnings close to BHM. Elevated regions like Cheaha would be devastated.

I REALLY SEE THIS AS BEING "CRAZY" .. THE HWRF HAS DONE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY STORM THIS YEAR. DO I THINK IT POSSIBLE ABSOLUTELY, DO THINK IT WILL HAPPEN?. I DOUBT IT BUT IT IS 2020 AND ANYTHING GOES

Yep earlier Spann was saying only scattered trees down and power outages.

What was he saying previously? He often makes definitive-sounding statements that can't be justified at the time he issues them.

Just as the leaves are getting very pretty they are all going to be gone. What a shame!

this was my biggest concern. there goes all the leaves in the mountains

That’s what I’m wondering. If I had to guess right now I’d say probably not. Most likely a wind advisory or high wind warning. Gsp hasn’t issued tropical storm watches for upstate sc since I believe Hugo I could be wrong though

GSP actually issued Tropical Storm Warnings for York and Cherokee counties in SC along with Gaston, Mecklenburg, Union, and Cabarrus counties in NC for Hurricane Michael in 2018. However it wasn’t until the storm was actually well into east central GA and still a strong cat 1.

Yea I just read the watch, 25-35 with gust to 45. Add 2-4in of rain and even a small chance of tornados. The next 48hrs might be fun. All we are missing is the backend snow.

Haven’t seen stuff like this around CLT since the sting jet with Michael, overdone likely but still, wow

Something I noticed on almost every model. It has the strongest winds south east of the center. Even though the center maybe 50-75 miles from some people. They could see stronger winds then they would being right under the center. Is because it’s lopsided?

I believe that is a factor of the rapid speed of the system that will enhance the winds to the right of the center (wind speed + forward speed of system) where near center you will be dealing with only the "true" wind speed. You can see this with fast moving QLCS systems also

It might not be overdone by much. I remember the day before Michael came through here how a lot of local mets were dismissing the models that were showing wind gusts of 60-70 mph. CLT ended up having a max gust of 62mph I think and my home weather station recorded a max gust of 67mph which was the strongest I had experienced since Hugo.
