That and interaction with a phasing upper level low/trough will aid in a extra-tropical transition which should keep strong winds going, while this isn’t a sting jet, the processes aren’t far apart, soundings in that intense low level jet show drying in the upper levels, but also try to creep in some drying more into the mid to lower levels, any light precip falling in this bit of dry air aloft would only help to drag down those winds, or clearing would also do the trick
Wind field is pretty small though, certainly no Opal....stations fairly close to the center I have been watching don't ramp up until almost in the core around the eye....makes guessing how the wind field evolves as it moves north hard to predict....also this storm did most of its organization the 12 hrs before landfall, seems odd to me that just 30 mins ago this location had peak gust to around 50 mph, waiting for the next update as it is now only a few miles from being in the center on the SE side....

Going to be playing catch all the way I'm afraid. 60+ gusts likely down to the highway 49 corridor in upstate SC.
There goes the power tomorrow morning as well as my neighbor's half-split bradford pear.
Yes and so many people don’t seem
Its a hideous tree and very weak, luckily its not planted as much anymore. Most of the ones around were planted back during the 2000s boom in housing. Bye bye ugly trees, even worse though is they are highly invasive and crowd our forests too. Best trees are oak trees, specifically Live Oak trees!
How many times has parts of the NRV of VA been under a tropical storm warning?
