Yeah, I definitely know at least millions, though. Maybe statewide it is billions, the OBX alone, though, is easily millions. Regardless of whether it is an m or a b, a LOT of money gone if the wrong call is made.

Yep. Hasn't really strengthened at all despite it's improved appearance. Good news. Hopefully it stays weak and doesn't get any stronger than a cat 1. As long as it keeps taking it's time like this, things don't look too bad. imo


You can make the argument that he has strengthened more based on the expanding wind field. This will cause it to have more serious coastal impacts. Regardless I think are going to see it ramp up to a hurricane soon.

You folks up in the Carolinas stay safe. Its better to prepare and it miss you to the east, than to get caught with it coming right over you. It seems with this storm, a few miles might make a great deal of difference between getting possible hurricane force winds/gusts, and getting lower tropical storm force weather conditions. Stay safe and be prepared.

There is very little dry air in the system now, and the plane reported a closed eyewall, and convection continues to form around the center. I don't think dry air has anything to do with it.

I'm noticing also that as the center comes closer to the Jacksonville radar, the ragged part that was showing up in the northern eyewall a few hours ago is solidifying, is this a result of it simply being closer, strengthening, or both?

It is strengthening... Sustained winds have been found at 65-70 mph since the 2pm update which had winds at 60 mph.

NHC still has it NOT becoming a hurricane until the 24 hr mark. Any chance if they upped that to 12 hr mark, or less, the OBX would be evacuating? At least the tourists?

next set should be good about to go through that part of the eyewall on radar with the deeper returns

One thing I'd like to point about about evacuations is roads in Eastern NC have improved considerable in the past 20 years. Formerly, to reach the Outer Banks you had to drive down 1 of 2 (US 64 or 264) 2 lane roads that passed through many small towns for nearly 100 miles from the closest 4 lane divided highway. Now a 70 mph divided highway reaches with within 20 miles or so of the OBX, and you can cut right across Roanoke Island on a highway with a new large bridge, where formerly you had to snake through the town of Manteo. So the N portion of the OBX can (INHO) be evacuated much easier than in previous years. The only real problem with evacuations is the portion from Pea Island south, where Hwy 12 repairs/upgrades are being held in the courts by groups who want to build a long bridge to replace the sections that keep getting overwashed.

Doubtful surface winds are that high, given strongest FL winds only 71 kts. But clearly Arthur is well on its way to becoming a hurricane pretty soon - probably within the next 6 hours or so. I'd say surface winds in the 55kt range and climbing.

71 and 70 kt flight level winds...


yep that what I figured..

if on the next pass or the noaa plane finds similar then they will likely go to 70mph for advisory or upgrade...

not quite to the center.. next set will show the remaining data from the eyewall

I can't remember a tropical storm having this clear of an eye. If it is not a hurricane now, it should be soon if trends continue:
