Tropical Hurricane Zeta

In my experience, if you take 25-30% off these values it can paint a fairly accurate picture of what to expect. That’s widespread 50-60 mph gusts with upside for higher. Going to be a wild night!

That right here would be crazy but we know you have to cut it in half to get the real totals.
 
Any chance we get a TS warning in the Triad? RAH seemed less than enthused with wind potential in their morning update.
Very doubtful. I don't see more than a couple of gusts in the 30s or maybe low 40s once you get just away from the track.
 
Hurricane Isabel was like that for me here in NC FL winds over the SW eyewall were 120 KNTS and we gusted to 55 at the surface in the eyewall....we actually got into the calm of the eye....

It really comes down to how well organized the core wind field is...and what happens as the storm transitions.....again its late Oct and the cane is interacting with a strong cold front.....the "sting" jet can be a very real thing...I will be surprised to see anything over 65-70 mph well inland though ( like N GA into the Carolinas ) outside of the higher mts etc.

I think the whole extratropical transition will help determine how bad the effects inland will be.
 
GSP slipping the rainfall amounts line south and east. more widespread 2-4" amounts across the northern upstate especially.

Those are way overdone, the Euro/HRRR are easily the worse ones....you need to half those values.....they both had me gusting to 100 mph in Isaias and we hit 55-60 mph peak gust.....

While I agree the forward motion of this storm will most likely give these values a higher chance to verify . Storms are not apples to apples
