Tropical TS Fred

I could see a stronger tornado today if any little mesocyclone hits a sweet spot

A few beans need to be monitored from Shelby to Statesville. May need to expand the tornado watch early.
 
That tornado is still on the ground. It's actually looking a little healthier than me. A tiny CC dot is poking out. But how high the radar beams are hitting doesn't give it a good representation. Because it's picking up higher on the storm cause the radar is far away.
Damage reports already in Banks county.
 
I honestly think these radar estimates tend to underestimate tropical rainfall totals since it tends to be more efficient than your typical rainfall from a front or extra-tropical cyclone.
Yeah that seems to be the case. Supposedly the experimental mrms data cut that bias a good bit. I'm not sure how the map I posted compares to observational data or if the mrms I have access to is the latest and greatest
