I remember they had to make a whole new set of colors for what Harvey did to the Houston area last year. I really hope she doesn't stall that long to produce that much rain. There's no way. Right?

You'd need like, 1.3 inches of rain an hour for 3 days for it.
 
Euro out to 48, approaching Wilmington, starting to slow down

72 hours basically stalled just offshore

96 hours moving SW off Charleston, looks to be headed for GA

If we can get this ring of -70C cloud tops to close off and maintain itself around the eye, and if we can eliminate that dry air on the western side, whoever finds the core is gonna have some big time troubles down the line. Right on the cusp of taking it to the 'next level' IMO, we'll see if it actually happens.

Well thinking that NHC may very well expand some watch products south to near Darian Ga, just being prudent with the model trends. .. Thoughts?

Later in the period, the dynamical model spread
increases but most of the guidance has continued its southward
shift, and now take Florence southwestward near the coast of South
Carolina by day 4. The NHC track has been adjusted southward at
days 4 and 5, and is a little north of the consensus out of respect
for continuity, however, the GFS, ECMWF, and the ECMWF ensemble mean
is south of the NHC track forecast, and additional southward
adjustment may be warranted in future advisories.
 
That is crazy how it just hits the breaks and goes south once it reaches NC. Great news for folks up my way, though. Just wonder now if they should have waited until today to make the decision about schools. Still would have been 48 hours ahead of time. And I think a lot of folks are going to look at this as getting worried about nothing and won't do anything to prepare the next time there is a threat inland here until the last minute, thinking the track is wrong and will change a couple of days out like now.
 
Wow the 6z gfs just demolishes the SE coastline of NC

A couple more Southward adjustments, and I’ll be looking T partly cloudy and breezy! This has to be one of most bizarre tracks ever forecasted!!
 
Looks like models may be trending a little more north prior to the stall and retrograde, at least the 06z NAM and GFS appear too. This is a nightmare to forecast

Hmm a decent number of those ensembles have it staying off shore enough to strengthen. Even the Euro Op has weakening stopping.

Yeah if it little further north before the stall and then heads almost due south before turning back West it definitely keeps it over water longer and although there will be upwelling the Gulfstream is out there so

Actually the highest TCHP of it's life. I'm curious how shear looks at that time.
