How will the Appalachian mountains affect the progress of the storm once it moves inland?

i suspect the models are now realizing more and more the strength of the ridge, and giving a shift south and west. G. Gray and even the NHC has talked about this.

the most interesting thing is that these models are now fanning out left and right like we were 120hours our or something...

there is no specific trend anymore (aside from a mid atlantic hit, which we have known all along.

my guess is this stall has really thrown a wrench into the system.

That would be the question of the hour :D I dunno but if she keeps getting sheared apart the impact will be a lot more benevolent, at least wind damage wise, than the gloom and doom predicted a short 36 hours ago by HPC (no weakening before landfall)

Depends on track. The Blue Ridge come first. During Floyd (totally different path) much of the west rain stacked up on the Blue Ridge (talk about lift). Fran's path was such that alot of RA and wind came from the NE and North...down the Valley and eastern slopes of the mountains.

Based on track, more rain east of the BR...gale winds shouldn't mix down west of the mountains...at least until winds shift out of the north.

The BR and Apps don't kill every TC.
