ATL: ARTHUR - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[dexterlabio]

That tiny eye only looks to be the start. If conditions remain favorable, that tiny eye could clear out even more and turn into something nasty.

Recon aborting normal flight pattern? Heading back toward center for more real time data?

[TheStormExpert]

It's funny how Jim Cantore just mentioned how Hurricane Irene(2011) hit Eastern/Outer Banks of NC as a strong Cat.2 Hurricane, when it was only a 85mph Cat.1? Why must the media always overhype and say these things??

Arthur has recovered nicely since yesterday evening when dry air eroded the NW eyewall. Better start turning soon or the folks inland might get a surprise visit.....MGC

#Arthur could also be the earliest-known landfalling hurricane in NC. A 1901 hurricane hit on July 11th; Bertha (1996) hit on July 12th.

Still here in northern obx in corolla (currituck coubty). No evacuations, stores seem pretty calm, minor gas lines. Seems a lot of People either got out of dodge, or are just sticking with what they've got and riding it out. Thankfully this far north I think barring a large tick west, we should stay out of a lot of he major sustained hurricane force winds, but still no pickle for us. Gonna be a violent evening.

Please keep us posted. Nothing like a direct observation!

[HurriGuy]

I just watch TWC for the live coverage during the storm.

[SeGaBob]

I hope this starts that anticipated turn soon... It looks to be headed straight toward the NC/SC border.

Thought it may just be the storm getting closer to radar, it appears that the eye has wrapped to the south, per a 40 frame radar loop from Wunderground.

[Aric Dunn]

well it sure better start turning more or Wilmington area going to see a landfall ...

[HurriGuy]

I don't even see a hint of gradual curve right now. I see straight NNE. MUCH More north than east.

[Bocadude85]

12z GFS is showing landfall not to far from Wilmington.

[capepoint]

Agreed. It is going to have to make a very sharp turn at this point if it is to remain offshore.

[Jevo]

12z GFS is running and it is sticking to it's guns with a Beaufort initial landfall in 18hours

[SunnyThoughts]

Has the front, or whatever it is that is suppose to help turn the storm more to the East, stalled out..or moving slower than expected? Is that why it hasn't turned as of yet?

Your lucky not to have to deal with Pamlico. The people in Colington may be surprised though, they get a good fetch off Albemarle Sound.
