Need recon in there soon

As close to a hurricane as you can get.

Need recon in there soon

Is there another recon scheduled or are we relying on radar at this point?

Didn't see one on the schedule

3k without power in NC already. Doubt there will be much structural damage but long duration, decent rainfall and decent gust probably gonna be a good number of power outages. More than a nuisance event yet not that big of a deal either kinda situation

Approaching 10K with about 12% of Lenoir county now in the dark. Seems like every time someone spits on the ground Duke Energy goes down.

Wow, 60 mph gust reported at New River

This went from a non tropical mess to this in a hurry

That's how we do it the past few years.

Interesting, I believe there have already been gust stronger than any the HRRR shows. Maybe I'm being a weather nerd but I think the HRRR might be a little underdone on those gust

Center is still pretty far south as well....guess MHX gonna need to revise that graphic you posted earlier lol.

Yeah its hard to say what to expect later when the center is sitting over the south central coastal plains...I think Topsail to Kinston to Wilson to your back yard might be the center track if it stays as far west as it appears to be....hard to imagine only gusting into the 30's, especially since we are pushing 40 already now with the center 200 miles south of us.

Well considering we just had a gust to 30 here, doubt we stay below 40 when this thing comes inland but we shall see

This gust map i posted from the 12z euro seems pretty accurate

Yeah, I think we’re going to be saying how good it was that it didn’t get 12 more hours over water

Ehhh, I still think it looks like a non-tropical mess.

Edit: Mess is too harsh a word. It looks cool for what it is. It looks like mess on the hurricane scale.

Surge is already getting into New Bern....might get another couple of feet in there before all said and done...

Storm looks like a mid latitude cyclone to me lol
