Tropical TS OPHELIA ?

[lexxnchloe]

Newer hot towers going up might get one more burst of intensification. I could see 975-980 by landfall.

983 is well below cane threshold of 993 so i think 50+ gusts are a lock for your location

They must be expecting it to go due north

They should

Or, Speculation here, Has the LLC reformed further south? Tucking under the convection?

Center got pulled under the deepest convection, once "stacked" it will resume N/NW movement

Thinking its a little underdone inland and on the south coast since PGV just gusted 38 already, and Jacksonville is seeing 46 already.....still the IBX looked to get hammered pretty good...Belhaven only 35 miles east of me as the crow flies its been since Matthew that we have gotten winds over 50 in a tropical system here.

Saw a report of 55 mph gust at Bald Head Island.

 

[Metwannabe]

Darn near hurricane strength

Hmmm, updated radar loop.. Looks like the LLC HAS relocated south a bit AND, looks like too be "wrapped up" in a bit..
