According to ATCF, virtually no change is coming on the 5am advisory for Florence with MSLP coming up a few mb.
FWIW: 6z Nam have a much stronger ridge.
stronger ridge, no loop foolishness? gfs on bath salts?
Ummm looking a little annular;

From the NHC's 5pm discussion on Florence, they already noted 95L's potential influence on the strength of the ridge steering florence.

EPS rainfall, obviously these totals will be much higher than this over the affected areas but you get the general idea where the heaviest swath may be.

What are your current thoughts? Are you going to post a forecast map? Thanks!

If that looks just like my cone in my map...
Florence definitely taking on an annular shape this morning and the Euro seems to have the same idea I have about how this system could behave as it makes landfall. Probably a blend of the 2 lines I put in. The rain is going to be crazy in Wilmington to Raleigh with the crawl inland. But hey, at least us in N GA are getting some rain later on per the Euro.

If I were to produce a forecast map I would place the track of Florence over Myrtle Beach as a mid-high grade (105-110 KT) category 3 hurricane, anticipating that the apparent deceleration in its track over shallower shelf water, increasing southwesterly shear, etc would weaken the hurricane, potentially knocking it back to a category 3 before making landfall.
Could be, but it also just could be the buzzsaw look that many hurricanes do before intensification. Katrina and Andrew are two that come to mind.
Eye looks a little ragged this morning!!
But imagine my surprise going to bed with almost 0 impacts imby, and waking up to 8-12”+ of rain imby!!? All hail king Euro!! I don’t understand the rainfall map forecast shows the West bend to over my way, but cone still looks the same last night, over toward RAH?

Definitely going through ERC at the moment!!
This cone! Should look different soon?
Gfs is definitely further north and east of Euro. When are we going to get them two models to come on line.
