This is a very touchy setup with this storm. Do not be surprised if there are still more shifts to come.
It’s a definite possibility if Humberto leaves it behind. I know someone was mentioning Dennis in 1999 that got left behind by a trough after moving parallel to the coast, sat southeast of Cape Hatteras for a few days before swing back west and landfalling near Myrtle Beach as a strong tropical stormEuro firing warning shots about that kickback west at the end. 2nd run in a row
Sounds like they are saying regardless of whether or not this ever gets to landfall heavy rain and gusty wind is possible if not likely for central and eastern portions of both North and South Carolina. Along with Eastern Florida and GeorgiaI was getting a bit confident until the end of NHC discussion....two important "ifs"....
"Even if this further offshore track pans out, the wind field is
expected to expand quite a bit, and given the expected storm
structure, a risk of significant heavy rainfall, storm surge, and
wind impacts is still possible for the southeast U.S. coast even if
the storm center remains offshore."
Would make sense you'd pack the gradient with that big high over NE and the storm to the south.I was getting a bit confident until the end of NHC discussion....two important "ifs"....

Each run before it inches closer to the coast then this run gets yanked hard to the EastMan these models are trash. Look how different the 0z Euro is. View attachment 175259
