This board has given me more insight and topics to study/issues to dwell on than any other source to date. My heartfelt thanks go out to all of you, and I hope to one day offer even a fraction of the insight and information you all have. Including you Phil!

Well, the Cinnabon finally opened in our mall, so I will always think of Florence, while eating my six pack! Weekend success!
 
The band many in central NC are concerned about wrt dumping considerably more rain later this evening or early in the overnight is getting its act together now over Scotland & Robeson counties.
 
Tbh I think we ended up with a compromise between models. As while the other models were too far north, they were right to show less rain south. Picked up .32" yesterday and the Euro was showing 1-2" fairly close to go time.
 
This rotation got close

Already had a couple of tornado warnings, too.

Looks like the heavy stuff is over me, too.

But that gradient is ridiculous.
