Wasn't it a week ago they called for Florence to be a "fish" storm?

Latest GFS makes landfall on Outer banks at 921 mb. Ouch.

Probably time for Issac to have his own thread.

That’s terrifying.

What are the longrange models on Isaac?

The possibility of this thing being parked over the gulf stream might have something to do with it not dropping in strength immediately.

I see runs claiming this thing is going to stall there for 3 days

6z GFS still throwing up massive rainfall totals. More rain gets inland on this run.

North Carolina’s best hope is that the GFS and it’s ensembles are right and Florence sideswipes rather than making a direct landfall. However, the Euro and it’s ensembles have a direct landfall and the Euro is the better model for tropical systems.

Can any of you compare the Outer Banks of NC to the Chandeleurs? I'd imagine the OBX are more substantial, but the Chandeleurs got demolished with Katrina.

From a geologic stand point, they're basically the same. Retrograding progressive barrier islands. The Outerbanks are wave dominated barriers. In other words they're thin sediment packages that migrate towards the shore due to island roll back (essentially storms wash sand over into the marsh into washover fans). There isn't anything substantial really to hold them in place like you have with your classic drum stick prograding barrier islands in the tidal and meso-tidal dominated regions of SC and GA.

Many of the current breaks between the islands in the outer banks are the result of hurricanes over the last 200-300 years. Florence will breach the islands somewhere and most likely result in a new inlet forming somewhere between Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras.

That's what I was noticing as well. The two latest GFS runs have Florence stalling on the NC coast for a couple days. That would be absolutely devastating.
