Tropical TS Chantal 2025

Chantal started moving west of due north last night before landfall. The environment started to become quite favorable for strengthening, and in fact, convection began wrapping around the northern and northwestern flank of Chantal.
Because Chantal was strengthening and quite significantly relatively speaking compared to its lifecycle over open waters, and very favorable outflow (noted strong poleward outflow channel developed on the western side after landfall), even though weakening back to a depression, allowed Chantal to continue developing intense convection and rainfalls on the NW flank.
Yikes
Southern Orange probably has the most rain left. Another 2-3" or so possible, I'd guess

Still an impressive blob
Damn, it's coming down hard with thunder and lightning
Yeah convection needs to start waning or it needs to start moving, if not some places gonna get over a foot. Easily

Tropical systems tend to squeeze out alot of rain at night.

I see the track has it eventually moving northeast over Wake and into VA. Any chance Wake could get the rain the places to the west are getting tonight?
Good stuff RC! I came through Raleigh earlier otw back from KDH and wondered which of the 42 Bojangles you might be at
Oh my goodness!
Cloud tops cooling and lightning picking up, not great. Really good divergent jet to the NW of the LLC right now it's going to be a while before it winds down unfortunately

Why is that?
Only road washout I have seen thus far
Wow! We came right through Mebane and Burlington this morning/early afternoon. It wasn’t even raining.

2.2 here at the Pomderosa. Over 7 past 7.5 days
1) it would have to shift SE
2) it will be moving, shorter duration event
3) it will be weakening by then

Moore county up into Chatham looked to really have got the heavy dumpage, just from my radar observations over course of today.
Just a typical footprint with this one. Tropical or not, coastal footprint wins out. Just like in a snowstorm. If it comes in off the Atlantic it’s hard to get anything more than a thin cloud deck back west. I had no idea you guys were getting this much rain. I just drove through there. Incredible

Father in law said it barely rained @ the OBX today. Idk what they were forecast for but I think they were supposed to get more than “barely rained”

I know the forecast this morning was for the heaviest precip being along and west of US 1. It looks like it ended up further west than forecasted.
This has been more rain for Chapel Hill than Fran

This is ending up a lot worse than it was thought it was going to be just 24 hours ago.

This is going to be Gaston from 2004 it looks like. That one hit Richmond VA awfully hard.

Assuming the flow is correct, Haw at Bynum is pushing 50,000 cubic feet a second, that’s about half what the Guadeloupe was at peak near Kerrville on the morning of 7/4.
