The models showing some Harvey like rain totals is very scary. It's going to be an interesting couple of days.

I would suggest folks listen to their local emergency management personnel on timing for evacuation. Honestly, I think suggesting people wait until Thursday -- the day of landfall -- to evacuate the NC coast is a very dangerous message to post publicly....

Every time I refresh the RBTOP floater loop, the deep convection has wrapped around more of the eye. :eek:

Looks like there may still be a fragment of the old inner eyewall hanging around on the north side, which may be the cause of the weakness there mentioned earlier. It's still closed, just not as robust as the southern/southeastern quadrant ATTM.

Hard to tell, but maybe some wild ass mesovorts in the eye / eyewall.

Do you have any high resolution stills/loops? I remember the mesovorts is those 2015 (Wilma, Rita, etc) storms were incredible.

Looks really turbulent. Gotta be a bumpy ride, especially coming in from the N, going by what we can see.

I hope people listen to the warnings.... it's easy to dismiss when you have had previous storms that come in weaker than expected, but this is the real deal. I hope people are listening.

And if she stalls, some areas could see up to 40” of rain.

It's been light long enough now to get some good vis loops from the rapid-refresh GOES-16 floater: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?p ... =undefined

I wonder why recon went so far away from the center before returning. I almost thought they were leaving the storm. Perhaps for a dropsonde on the periphery of the circulation?

*EDIT: I guess they are actually leaving after just one pass...

Is there still a way to get 1-minute satellite imagery? On the RAMMB/CIRA site I can only get 15-minute intervals of GOES-16 imagery. Do they not do the super-rapid-scan thing anymore?

College of DuPage, my friend. 30-sec hires imagery. Perhaps my greatest love in life.

Overall, she still looks very lopsided, time will tell if that will change. I don't know if I see her getting as strong as 150, but the NHC are the experts, so...

She has about 48hrs of zero shear environment to work with. More than enough to mixed out any issues in the circulation

Wow she is really progged to hit the brakes near and just after landfall...implying an epic rain dump. I notice the northward ticks in the track have halted for now as well. I think just about every landfall point depicted has been in that onslow bay zone thus far.
