we need to figure out a specific scale for S, H, and M
The scale is the Alphabet Scale.
The size of a shift is directly determined by the size of the font that the NHC uses on graphics. Being that it is standard, it will never change without prior warning. It may be the most accurate scale of map measurement ever devised.

Looks like the NWS has backed down rain totals? Guess they aren’t buying what the euro was showing earlier??
Clearly not.
The idea behind it might be pretty simple, just go step outside. Does that feel like a tropical airmass that could drop a foot or more of rain?
The convective allowing models aren't nearly as bullish and this is the kind of scenario you want to look at them. The Euro is seeing a lot of convergence (notice the wind in New Orleans?) but there appears to be something subtle the Euro is missing at this point.
It's why we have humans making forecasts. Just be aware the potential for higher totals might be there.
Can see an outflow boundary from the collapsing storms this afternoon. Always a really good sign some dry air got in there. Watching on a loop, you'd see the boundary going out to the east of the main core too.

CE How is power restoration going in that area?

Goofy question. How do we have a storm named Beta when we just had Sally? I thought these things went in alphabetical order?

We ran out of names and are now doing Greek letters. Alpha got burned on a subtropical near Portugal. So we have Beta here.

There’s a Teddy out there and they skip U and V and then there’s Wilfred — and then they I assume skip X, Y and Z.

Oh damn. I wasn't aware we ran through the alphabet already. Thanks.

Can you believe they tried to sneak Isaias by us like it was no big deal?

I’m surprised how gusty it is in BR from this little storm

Beta looking a little sickly out there right now.
Water is still rising though. Came up about 3 inches today with a pretty steady wind from the SE and an occasional northerly gust.

What is Houston’s outlook for this storm?
Posted on 9/20/20 at 8:41 pm to thadcastle
5-10” of rain. Minor localized flooding. With some mild wind gusts. Don’t buy into the local Houston news saying we’ll see get sustained tropical storm winds. We won’t.
I suspect 3 Mayor Turner press conferences.
2 Lina Hildago press conferences in the next 3 days.

Kicking arse. Entergy is basically rebuilding some of its transmission line system (69kV - 500kV) . There were over 1400 destroyed structures and have repaired close to half.
Distribution numbers are even bigger and their progress is also very very impressive.
