NOAA9 #6 upper air sampling is done and heading in. NOAA2 #7 setting up for another pass....sub 990? anyone?

Looks to be close to stacked, might be some vortices still swirling around.

Western NC is going to get crushed with rain. 3.5 and 4+ inches on Wednesday and Thursday. We’ve seen a lot of rain here in NC. Woof. More rain on the way with Helene too.

Same here in NE Tennessee. I’m about 15 min from the NC line. We’ve had rain but this could put things way over the edge for us.

Sending good vibes your way. I went to App State and lived in Asheville for a while. Had friends who lived near trade and in mountain city. Flooding looks to be a big problem this week.

Many counties in central and north NC are under flood watch tonight for storms. 2-3”+ inches. And a little more rain even prior to Helene on Friday. This is a bad flooding set up.

Wind field needs a lot of work

-90C tower just went up over center. Predicting 987-988 next pass

This is starting to get scary, I'm wondering if the NW turn has been confirmed?

I am really concerned about the storm surge at landfall and all along the FL west coast. I have experienced a 25-foot storm surge in Biloxi and trust me, it would take years, or in our case decades, to rebuild from that level of destruction if it comes to fruition. Your whole way a living changes for those in the surge areas, it's like living in a 3rd world country. Hopefully the great state of FL will respond quickly to the needs of its residents to minimize suffering. I know I was basically homeless for about 18 months living with different relatives then the dreaded FEMA Trailor... Will not do it again.. ever

That's exactly why we're leaving FL.

Can't get out fast enough, it appears. Hubs is supposed to leave next week. I have to stay to complete a contract job. Might be another close call before it's all said and done....since hurricane season goes till Nov. 30.

<sigh>

Needs a little time.

Plus, I saw a Reel from a time travel who predicted a Cat 6 200mph winds hitting the US in Sept. This has got to be the one.

I still think ceiling is sub 900

Man IDK about that low....I am just thinking this next pass it will be sub 990.

I got almost 2" just today near Boone. Additional 8-10+ forecast through Friday. Definitely concerned about flooding and landslides. We've had some significant slides in the past few years.

Is there such a thing as a Cat. 6?

Username checks out…. In all seriousness let’s hope you’re wrong

I thought you might but I thought I'd better check to make sure. I guess there can be winds that high so I kind of wondered.

The sun setting on Helene

Amazing photo, what app is this?

Dropsonde missed the center. 990mb with 17 knot winds.

990mb (29.24 inHg)

That would support a pressure of 988 mb.

Well now that you pointed it out I can't unsee it. Kind of a cartoon baby more like.

You have forever altered my perception of shrimping tropical cyclones
