Charleston, SC Forecaster Blogs...

I have included below the local meterologist blogs of Ernesto. I reccommend ppl to go here, read them, even comment. They offer a unique perspective of the storm and their thoughts are very thought out and interesting.

I've been very impressed with Chad Watson's blogs, but the guy from Channel 4 is poor. The spelling errors, and gramatical errors in his blog, and on his site make it frustrating to read. Currently, Channel 4 has this listed on their site:

"Wednesday will be a transition day for the area as ERNESTO approaches from the south. Sustained damaging winds, rainfall over 5' and a few tornadoes are possible on Thursday or Friday. But as always, it HIGHLY depends on his track and intensity at that time. For more on that...click on Brian's Blog. "

5 FEET of rainfall!

There was one thing that the channel 4 blog said that I found interesting:

"And something else to note...is the European model. It moves ERNESTO east of us...but deepens it dramatically into a CAT 2 storm and stalls it. The model then moves it WNW into NC for a landfall by Saturday. This does concern me as this model has insisted on this for several days. Reminds me OPHELIA from last year. "

Thoughts?

I was actually mentioning this to a coworker a few minutes ago.. A few of the models had hinted at a brush by, skirting the coast around charleston, up through Cape Fear, and then going out to sea, doing a little loop, and being forced back westward making another landfall... I hadn't heard anything in the last day or two about it though..

Well, Ophelia didn't give us much of anything. That is interesting since Channel 2 has it going west of the NHC forcast and inland SC to the west of Charleston.

Charleston/Mt. P/Awendaw/McClellanville will face the worst weather by far if the landfall is between Edisto/Folley like the local stations have been saying..

Especially since it's forecast for right around high tide...

You think they were complaining about flooding from the storms the other day?? lol

[krisj]

Hey, not funny SCMedic. I remember the floods from Gaston and we couldn't get out of our neighborhood for a day.

[Stormtrack03]

Same here krisj, I am hoping it wont get that bad once the storm heads our way.

[tallbunch]

once again, we never get anything here.

Seems they all think it could strengthen to a strong TS with hurricane winds. I thought after today's lack of strengthening that they wouldn't still be saying that.
What do ya'll think the 11pm forcast will say? Think they'll tone the wind speed threat down some?
