Maybe east of I-95, but the rest of NC and SC will be going into a drought before summer is over unless things change. It will also get warmer too with triple digits possible.

LLC almost exposed now, so it's not going to get "sucked" under that convection.... this is most likely why models actually pull it NNW and keep it away from the coastline of Fl until the big bend area
@pcbjr and others especially to the right of the projected path in FL, batten down the hatches for heavy rain, trees and limbs down from gusty winds into the 40s+, power outages, and the threat of tornadoes/severe thunderstorms. Parts of GA/SC/NC will be at risk Wed-Thu.
So there's still a chance my office could close Thursday.

WRAL is making it like we'll have flooding here.If your office were down near Hogtown, maybe it would be closed tomorrow. But in the RDU area, forget it as @ryan1234 said.
It is going to be EPIC, the end of times, get your ark out.WRAL is making it like we'll have flooding here.

Looks like pressure down to around 999-1000 MB, surface wind speeds around 60-65 on the NW ( naked ) side actually pretty impressive.....NE quad might be enough to call this a cane ( or at least a halfacane )
CLT might get a direct pass from Elsa! I think they may have to close some offices, but RAH will barely get sprinkles, business as usual
