Yeah, Jim Cantore has been hanging out at Johnny Mercer's Pier all day!!!
Half expected him to pop a cold one when talking about the moon over his right shoulder earlier.
Yesterday was worse than today. Last two days have felt like we were in the tropics!!!!

They should have a TWC Party.
Complete with a band
and dancers 
! They could do the Hillarybobblehead Boogie. 
Oh wait... I forgot, that doesn't jive with the target audience TWC is trying to reach. (Do they even know?)

15 miles NW of Charleston, and skies are fair tonight ..
Earlier some spiral bands developed during the early afternoon, and one such band, with embedded thunder, dropped 0.60" of rain in just 15 minutes. Otherwise, it's generally been fair to cloudy, winds no more than 15 mph, and otherwise, you really wouldn't know that a tropical storm sits just 90 miles SSE of Charleston by the way everything looks outside.

I am in Wilmington where off and on tropical downpours have been rolling in off the Atlantic. Awesome to see them coming- I'll post a link to some timelapse of one that I took yesterday. We just had a heavy shower roll in a little while ago and it resulted in a major accident on the slick Cape Fear River Bridge. While not directly associated with Alex- you can still tell these are tropical showers. Ah- August!

Definitely true about the tropical downpours ... they really add up quickly in the rain gauge, and definitely earlier with the onshore flow with dewpoints firmly in the upper 70s to near 80. During one of the showers, the temperature here never fell below 81º, with a 79º dewpoint ...
