Actually it's starting to get more organized. A few hours ago, it had a naked swirl but now it's starting to get more better organized. If trends continue, should see a hurricane by sunrise.

I don't think it's that disorganized. You can clearly see a cylconic flow based on the cloud pattern.

the cloud pattern from a IR image?
Lets see if this convective burst to the N and NE of the center can start wrapping around

AF plane diverted back to base. 
If you wanna see the worst case scenario for WNC and the upstate, the 18z HAFS-A model has you covered. Thankfully I think(hope) it is significantly overdone.
Meanwhile I just messaged a friend in Seneca and my family in Western Gaston County to have everything fully charged just in case.

Wow, that's a big drop for a couple of them. And all of them showing a high end cat 3 to cat 4 now.

It has that curled up "shrimp" look based on IR. It just needs to have the remaining shear lessen on the Southern/Southwestern sides and have convection begin to blow up for it to close off completely and have a more classic tropical cyclone look.

I know it’s just for fun, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the 3km NAM go below 885mb before. Wonder if there’s some theoretical max programmed in. Apparently not.
988 mb.
I’ll be live streaming from coast. Leaving tomorrow night

As long as it stays east of us. Seems like in the past there have been fewer clusters of spinners on the left side when the eye passes. I've still seen gusts near 100 from fast moving storms on this tract. Don't want twisters to add in, lol.
