It's probably a good thing that this thing is getting sheared
I'll take it and be happyNAM rainfall totals look more realistic this run but still impressive. Widespread 2-4" with locally heavier amounts east of US 1

GFS keeps most of the heavy rain right inside of the FFW area but it also looked to have shifted west again this run....NWS RAH has issued flash flood watches for the CWA southeast of the Triangle for the potential of 2-5" of rain (& locally heavier amounts). This rain could certainly make its way towards RDU, gonna be a tough call for the eastern piedmont...

If there is a closed center, the best chances of finding one is close to the coast.Recon's finding close to TS force winds but still not sure there is a well defined center yet....
I agree but otherwise it's still a mess, I can't find a well defined circulation with radar that's for sure.... either way rain starting to expand NW so some folks still gonna get some beneficial rains I thinkIf there is a closed center, the best chances of finding one is close to the coast.
Yeah I have my doubts this get's named unless something drastic changes tonight.... shear just too muchactually dropped from 90/90 to 80/80 on becoming Irma
Fairly significant shifts too.... certainly something to watchAlong with a host of other guidance, the RAP continues to shift the precipitation shield NWward in the short range, brining more considerable rain into the east-central piedmont of NC.

Still feeling mighty "tropical" in N FL today ...Of course I'm technologically challenged or I'd post a loop instead of a link lol anyway zoom in and look just NE of Fl/Ga line this looks like possible llc if one is there or is trying anyway...

It did the exact same thing the 18z run before Matthew. I remember it had like .75 here. Only off by a little more than a factor of 10Yeah the GFS shifted NW again, meanwhile the NAM is way out in left field as usual...
you left out this part... "into Halifax, Nash, Warren, and Franklin counties, for example" lolRah is getting on board with heavy rain farther west
The low level PV accompanying the low(s) already along the NC coast may result in stronger than model-simulated moisture transport/isentropic upglide into the Coastal Plain and ne Piedmont, which may result in periods of moderate to heavy rain farther west than previously forecast

Looks like they have come down some but still around 1.5 meanThe sref plume has a floor of around 1 and a max near 8. If I fall anywhere within that it'll be a victory given how dry the models looked 3 days ago
