Tropical Major Hurricane Michael

[Fountainguy97]

Interesting image out of TCLT.

This could be our intense wind band winding up. Notice the sharp cutoff and then light green/blue? That's 50MPH winds only 800-1,200 feet up

Should see a pressure drop of a few mb, signifying its transitioning to EX tropical. Right?

I can see the trees moving back n forth now pretty good last half hour up by the airport. But nothing out of ordinary. And its been pouring the rain. Thinking center circulation has to get off to our east then the wind event advertised on models will come sweeping in.

So how is everyone’s power holding up I haven’t seen any real massive outages in Georgia or SC

Guess that depends on what we consider massive, according to the outage maps and reports nearly 250,000 without power across those two states.

I was just wondering if Mack got enough wind to fly his kite.

All good in Charleston. Wind and rain between 3am and 5am were more serious than anything else today.

Having problems trying to load the gif from TT here on mobile, but it's looking like that trailing band is already intensifying (right word?). This is gonna get ugly, I've already seen gusts over 20mph here, and the sustained has definitely picked up as well.

Picking up for sure here in Charlotte. After dying down in the late morning it's gotten much more squally over the past 30 minutes or so. Power just flickered at the office (south Charlotte, almost Pineville) and I imagine we'll see more of that before things quiet down for good.

Stuff has picked up over here in N. Charlotte too.

Now that it's game time for that line of intense wind to start developing, the HRRRRRR backs off. Probably see some 40-50 mph gusts max roll through later.

I'm here in the Delmarva region and it's extremely humid today. 84 degrees with a dewpoint of 77 !

So the NWS was right as usual.

Already gusting to 46 mph at KCLT and we're still a few hours from the strongest winds. We're gonna do better than 40-50 imo.

Go with Webber over me. I was bittercasting the model for its inconsistency.

No one is right or wrong until after it passes and we can verify winds. The NWS is also saying 55+ now they have bought into that backside band verifying too.

Griteater from american just told me he lost power in north-central Mecklenburg.

Seemingly right on cue, power is starting to flicker at my place.

I hope those 70 to 80 mph gusts are wrong. Meanwhile, the rain is here now, and the wind is starting to pick up.

Ended up with 5.59” of rain here in Lithia Springs from 5PM yesterday to 5AM today. Highest wind gust was 36 which came around 3:30AM. The rain just never stopped falling once it got started yesterday evening. Unexpected but welcome!

Prayers to those still being affected and/or cleaning up for sure.

TCLT radar im measuring winds of 80mph just 2k feet above the ground. Very impressive.

Seeing all these emergency manager reports that Allan is tweeting out and there appears to be numerous trees down across the state already.

Lot of the Mtn posters on amx reporting winds really starting to crank now along with the I77 crowd. See what shakes out. Good news is we have seen the last of the summer regime. Its exiting stage right. Thanks to Michael may finally get to turn off the AC now.

I'm on vacation in the mountains and I got a notification my power is out at my house in northwest Charlotte from my security system.

Dispatch just reported tree down at Ten-Ten, so it’s RAH too.

Apparently Matthews just gusted to 62 mph I’ve had power flicker on and off several times the past 30 minutes somehow I still have it

Yeah this is pretty bad it’s the equivalent of being in the heart of a severe thunderstorm for a couple hours, not fun.

Staying in the Windy Hill section of NMB. Woke up to sunny skies and a little high tide flooding from the swash next door. Closest station to me on Wunderground has gusts to 55 but i'm betting it was higher at times, never lost power thankfully.

This somewhat corroborates the earlier 62 mph gust reported in Matthews and that's in the ballpark of what I observed about 30-45 minutes ago.

 

[Gibby]

WRAL just said the Triangle could see winds in the 50s to even 60 when that back end of the storm moves over us, around 5-6pm.
I guess local stations are starting to pick-up on the chance of higher winds for us.

 

[Webberweather53]

Likely gusted to about 50-55 here in Charlotte, worst of the wind is now to my east and is closing in on the eastern piedmont.

 

[RBR71]

Wow look at those cooling cloud tops on the backside due to interaction with the front, starting to think some of those HRRR gust might be realized later...
