Tropical Major Hurricane Michael

[NorthGaWinter4]

I don't think it'll be that extreme but it'll be further north for sure. Probably in for a windy night into the morning up here before it moves on.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Irma type gust

Does anyone think tropical storm Warning could go up for the other counties in South Carolina? Pickens and Greenville?

South of I85 seems like the best chance for Tropical storm force conditions

Anybody seen updates on Strength as in enters GA are they still at 140 MPH wind gusts?

In scenarios like this where dry air is involved on the backside of a tropical system (and being enhanced by upper air forcing) it's been my experience that winds aloft mix down in gusts VERY effectively. The depictions by the HRRR of winds gusting 65-85mph over a good chunk of NC in this backside band are quite realistic. I expect quite a few areas will see hurricane force gusts in NC or close to them. This is going to be a lot worse than people are prepared for. I let my sister in Raleigh know about it and she had no clue since the locals there have been downplaying it so much.

John C says there’s never been a tropical storm warning in those areas. I’m on the southern edge of Greenville county so I might get a couple notable gusts in the morning!

@Tarheel1 we’re literally In a weather screw zone. Too far south of I85 for good snow and not far enough south for a good tropical rain storm. SMH!

 

[MichaelAndrews]

All schools around the Columbia SC cancelled, the credit union chain my wife works at has closed for tomorrow

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

I’m gonna go ahead and air this out. Global models did a sh** job with Michael and a sh** job with Florence as far as pressure and strength go. It’s almost like we shouldn’t start paying attention unless models are showing a mid grade Hurricane a few days out

Moving 16 mph now and it's accelerating.... Chris you doing a live FB update tonight so we can see the eye?

Under a tropical storm warning

I think Greenville county will also close. If I were a betting man. Someone mentiononed the tropical storm warnings expanding. Do you think they will include northern counties in upstate SC?

The center is entering GA now.

They always say they can’t run busses with sustained 30mph or gusts to 40mph. It’s a real fine line! Something else to think about is, the worst of the storm will hit between 4-9AM!

Models are showing only an inch of rain now! Busted FFW, in my opinion! And MBY

Expected rain totals have been fluctuating for hours so we will have a better Idea for those of us in SC later tonight
