Going to get a little break in the rainfall across western North Carolina , foothills and piedmont - which is a good thing.

Im surprised about this. In Rock Hill weve had a Flash Flood Warning all day and from the tools I have I believe weve gotten about 4in already.

Exactly. I just checked my gauge and was surprised to see it at 2.9”. It’s been raining since about 7:30am. Never anything I would call a downpour, but it’s just a steady moderate rain all day with occasionally heavier times. Kinda with these wind gust now forecast to be around 60mph later tonight and in the morning

When I checked my hurricane only bucket a few hours ago I had 3 in there. Over 7 for the adventure so far. I've missed the heavier slugs since then.

4.25” so far today

3.08 today as of a few hours ago.

Cross your fingers everyone.. so far it looks like the RI is slowing down.

But recon could be a bit wonky because some moron private plane decided to fly into the hurricane. No, I am not kidding.

Eye wall is about 38 miles wide as the crow flies.

And the German Global has nailed this thing

If this map is even close to being correct, FFC may want to consider downgrading the Hurricane Warnings West of I-75 in Georgia.

Icon held steady all the way through. Did better with pressure on this one too.

The rain over all of Ga and Atl is just intense, just a river of water straight out of the Gulf. 6.55 inches.

It definitely is slowing way down as it has ingested some drier air as clearly shown on IR.

Think he was talking about forward speed,not wind

Given the reports from recon the west side even close to the center is weak, barely even cane gust almost on the center itself....they wont drop the warnings because exact track will matter but there will be places on the west side of the center that see gust 40-50 while 50 miles east on the other side might see 70-80.

You can see it on radar too. Nice big dry slot to the S, SW of the eye

No he was talking about the strength.

ICON is gonna be too far East.

 

[HugeSnowStick]

TWC just said it is now bending to the left, so, mostly straight North.

I just don't get why locations west of the forecast track well into GA are under a Hurricane Warning. There's no way on Earth i'm getting Hurricane gusts. Maybe 60 mph at the most.
