If it stalls off the OBX or on them the rain mostly stays away from inland areas. Look at rainfall maps for GFS. The fish get a good rain on.

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
The placement of the high in this CMC 12z is rather far east, isn't it?

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
With that ridge set up I cannot fathom how any models are not plowing the storm into South or North Carolina. I just don't see the poleward influence (to the extent that any track comes remotely close to tilting NNW).

Similar to the 06z GFS from what I can see.
12z GFS looks somewhat realistic over the next 12hrs, starts too far north BUT drops SW over the next 6-9hrs and so ends up about right in terms of latitude, then moves in WNW from around 00z tonight.

THe other question is what happens if Florecnce is slower.. that next ridge is likely to trap it.

It's in testing phase but as shown promise.

Feel bad for the OBX but less populated and the people who live there for the most part can afford to lose a house. It sucks but better to hit there than Wilmington or Myrtle Beach. Here is to hoping the ECMWF shows the same and that the trend continues NE.
Hmm the 12z Cmc loops it back out for a landfall somewhere between Wilmington and Morehead city on Monday (these 4 consecutive days of hurricane conditions model runs are downright ugly)

Doesn't it seem to be gaining lat rather fast over the initial 36hrs?

The UKMO after having been consistent has started rocking all over the place. Also worth noting the pressure of 928mbs just before landfall just a little east of Wilmington, amazing pressure from the UKMO!
Seems like the models are really honing in on N.Carolina now unfortunately, though still a little scope for a scrape by...
