Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

00z runs are very aggressive. Some are 920mb at landfall. Recon plane is entering the storm right now.

It looks like the 0Z Euro has the center crossing Gwinnett County. The distance from landfall position to E of ATL is ~250 miles and it gets there in only 9 hours. That works out to an average of a whopping 28 mph, among the fastest on record for that area! To compare, the very fast moving Opal averaged no more than ~25 mph. Eloise of 1975, which also brought damaging winds well inland to W GA, averaged at ~29 mph.
 
PRE is gradually starting to set up across AL/GA ahead of Helene. Also I noticed in their app that TWC has gotten more aggressive on the rainfall totals here. 8-12 inches from tomorrow through Thursday night. Not anything that wasn’t a likely possibility, but compared to when I checked this morning I don’t think they were forecasting even half of that. https://radar.weather.gov/?settings...jYWxTdGF0aW9ucyI6MC44LCJuYXRpb25hbCI6MC42fX0=

That track would put Lake Lanier on the NE edge of the eye.
