No change in direction, still NW. I honestly would've gone with WNW, but hard to tell with that eye. Local Mets said we're only going to get 2-5 in of rain in SeVA. No way that verifies with the track this is on.

Sounds right to me. Hurricanes don't do well over land. What is your concern about that?

Winds should be higher at landfall with that pressure. It will weaken over land, but there will be a corresponding rise in pressure. I understand what you were saying.

How so ? It's not yet 31 degrees north and not supposed to slow its NW movement for 36 more hours and wont totally hit the brakes on the N direction for at least 48 hours at 34 degrees

With the models shifting North, and the expansion of the overall hurricane, I'm saying that we will get more rain. Their earlier forecast was based upon a smaller hurricane and a further south landfall.

So what's your thinking on a LF point, stall like the GFS and SW drift? Just curious. IM

Curious. Did any model show this ULL off Florida and what would be the thinking of the track? Wondering if it would shove it more north into that high pressure causing it to stall closer to the pamlico sound causing more flooding further north by just a tick. I realize there's no support for this in the models but I don't remember any talk about this ULL either. As I said just curious.

Not a met, but in all my 20+ years of weathering storms in this area, I haven't quite seen that. The models don't seem to sure about it either. Not impossible, but definitely unusual. I feel like the left hook and stall inland scenario is far more plausible.

It seems to be moving quickly on that 315 degree heading and wondering if it keeps it going in that direction until landfall perhaps near MHC hook left and stall inland. Not a met either a native of 55 yrs to the crystal coast area!

Wait to see the 0z models come out, they will have the latest track and speed among all their other input data.

Those tracks are flattening. It's possible we come full circle back to the ride up central NC/VA solution.

You can see all the details here

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/modelsummary.shtml

But basically it's a linear regression model that just uses very recent info of this storm ( current trajectory, pressure etc ) so not a major player. Also, that clp5 is just old climatology which again is not really a major player definitely not dyamic predictive like math solution as others are.

IMHO best to follow are gfs & euro ensembles, and how nhc address them in their discussions at 5:00 and 11:00

Oh, hey now, stop filling up the models thread with off topic stuff please.

GFS started on Tidbits. It’s only out to 12 hours yet.

Fwiw NAM and RGEM show it weakening as it pushes southwest. It’s not that far inland both both reduce the intensity fairly quickly.
