Tropical Major Hurricane Florence

[Arcc]

Looking at IR, it definitely appears to have peaked for the next little while.

GFS is really drunk right now.

Hey I'll have one if the GFS is picking up the tab lol. Seriously though the GFS has been hinting at a looper for nearly a week.

I would be surprised if GFS was right about this one.

Pics or it didn't happen

Best I could find!

Actually, someone announced "Last call" in Africa but no one seems to be heeding the ordinance ... there's lots of inebriation out there and more looks to be stumbling out the barroom door ...

Flo looks like a hot dump right now! Seriously, the southern side of the storm is having issues!

From the microwave imagery, it looks like it's going to be awhile before the ERC actually happens if that is the case. It's only got about 30% of an outer eyewall if you can even call it that seeing it's still relatively connected and may just be an energy feed. As for the HMON, it's no longer calling for one as of 18Z, and it's calling for a cat 5 by tonight or tomorrow morning now too.

On another note, the next plane is arriving in the storm now for low level recon.

Yeah it’s hard to tell but from the southern half it definitely looks like the start of one, in the very early stages. It probably won’t be until tomorrow until it completes unless it does one of the fast ones where they merge seamlessly. There have been some typhoons and hurricanes which have done that although it’s very rare. It’s still showing a much larger eye forming so we will have to see how it all unfolds.

Fv3gfs holding steady I believe

Bah it's too early for this but really good prolonged west jog.

Seriously?????? All SC schools on a line from approximately CAE to FLO and government offices are closed tomorrow, until further notice! They must be hugging the Euro!!!

It isn't coming until Thursday.

One major factor to watch over the next 24 hours is the forward speed. This will be the key to where the storm will stall. The faster it moves early on, the further inland it will go causing more issues with flooding in more populated areas.

I believe that the evacuation routes are turned into one way roads. You can’t run bus routes on them.

Looks like a bit of a west Jog

It’s SC they can’t run, pass any routes ... Go Dawgs.. sorry I had too.

 

[Avalanche]

Yeah, the last moments of the frame look due West. Lets see how long this continues....

I live in midlands of S.C. when coast is evacuated Columbia is where everyone comes. Roads kept free of school traffic. Also school buses are used to help evacuate those in low country
