Let’s hope that if the models continue to show pretty much the same thing for 92L that that high settles in like the models show. I know it’s a long way out and that those front projections are about as accurate as the storm projections at this point...not very.

A good note about Florence is this thing is going to be booking it which will lessen impacts some.


A bad note is that even a normal rain shower can cause downtown Charleston to flood.

Hey rds, according to Stu Ostro on twitter it looks like the disturbance the Euro is seeing is coming from this area of thunderstorms in the Caribbean.

Euro has Florance into South Carolina followed by 92L doing a flyby of Puerto Rico the next day (hour 144 and hour 168).

Over/under on number of "climate change caused this" articles that would come out in the following days if we get back-to-back hits on consecutive days on US Soil: 14,000

Also hope that it turns and skirts the coast instead of slamming into it. If it’s going to get close.

If it goes like projected, that’s gonna be a large storm. It’s pretty slow moving so if it sits long enough maybe something will catch it and blow it out to sea later on.

I mean, just because a prediction was made, doesn't change the odds at all.


I disagree.

At 5 days out, average error is about 175 nautical miles. Obviously it's even higher at longer hours, and 348 hours out would be fantasy land.

However, given the choice of showing a direct hit that far out or an out to sea prediction, you should chose the out to sea option.

I've been here the last two hurricane seasons and that is essentially what they have all done.

Yeah, and South Carolina will beat Georgia and A&M will beat Clemson.

Was Issac the one that flooded the La Place area pretty badly?

I'm pretty sure I saw GFS pick up on something similar several days back on one run. That would kinda come out of nowhere to see a wave or something form there in the Gulf.

Not sure there but I do know on the Northshore Isaac skullfricked them. It's in fact the most water I saw up until the last flood. It just dumped buckets of water on them for days and Northshore got the absolute worst of that storm for 2 days.

Oddly enough, I live in central Arkansas and haven't really seen much rain from this. About an hour south from here, they've gotten around 4" so far.

It picked up on it like 3 runs in a row on Tuesday/Wednesday

Pretty much the same thing, weak TS or TD going in to south central Texas coast.

I saw that too. A couple times several days ago and both times it went into Texas around corpus. Weaker and less organized than Gordon.
