The flood forecast for Asheville is terrible. French Broad is expected to crest at 21ft. River arts district and everything along the river will be submerged.
Maybe a little more gas in the tank but looking at IR and radar, I don’t know how much more.

How much time before Helene makes landfall? Looks like she is going to make a run for cat 4.

Swannanoa river at Biltmore village. I hope they're prepared man, this will be awful if it pans out. Forecasted to crest 24 hours from now.
The eye is still not symmetrical.

Zulu time is basically GMT time. 3Z is 11pm EST.

Most of the models have the pressure bottoming out around 7pm, then rising 1 or 2mb at landfall a few hours later. As such, we still have 3-4 hours of pressure falls to come i'd say, and the winds haven't caught up to the 10mb drop we've had in the last few hours. I think 140-145mph is easily attainable.
952 mb.

951mb. Thats a low pressure for 120 mph. This may be a rare case where cat 3 winds verify on land
