Wow...
THIS FORECAST PATTERN
RESULTS IN A TRACK FOR NOEL A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE U.S. EAST
COAST...AND WITH THE FORECAST EXPANSION OF THE WIND RADII...IS
EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT EXTRATROPICAL WIND EVENT FROM
THE NORTH CAROLINA OUTER BANKS NORTHWARD. PLEASE CONSULT STATEMENTS
FROM YOUR NWS LOCAL FORECAST OFFICE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST HAS BEEN
ADJUSTED WESTWARD FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY BUT IS STILL TO THE
RIGHT OF THE MODEL CONSENSUS. ADDITIONAL WESTWARD ADJUSTMENTS MAY
BE NECESSARY THIS EVENING.
So, I missed a lot while I was gone...With this new data, what are the chances higher winds come on the NC coast? The very coastal counties (Cateret, Mainland Hyde and Dare) are under wind advisories and The OBX are at High Wind Warnings...what are the chances of those being pushed inland, now? Especially if the track shifts westward? They are already saying 20-25 mph here, so almost advisory criteria as it is...Any westward shift, resulting in much higher winds, would catch a bunch of people off guard...
Also, most importantly, what kind of westward shift? (as in, how far west would we be talking?)
