It’s cranking up on Topsail. A strong band is coming ashore and high tide is in 5 minutes. Any idea when we can expect the worst of it?

Our area should start to feel tropical storm force winds around 9 pm with the worst of the storm coming through between midnight and 4 am. Flooding of low lying areas and streets is likely. Active tornadoes are possible with this storm so stay alert for warnings overnight.

Those high winds not really matching up to where the convection is. Honestly looks like it's transitioning to extratropical on this loop.

I got 86 kt some 2500 feet off the surface in the heavier rain in the "eyewall" band near the center. That could well be mixing down to the surface. Gusts up to 90 mph wouldn't be surprising as that band runs on shore.

Last radar check seeing 100 kt just 1600 feet off the surface in the rainband.

Yep. Got its act together just before making landfall. The waters just off coast are warmer than normal for this time of year, as well. Could be helping to fuel the strengthening before landfall. That, and isn't fighting sheer nearly as much.

Getting 100+ mph on the KLTX radar (Wilmington) like 500 feet off the ground. Won't be that strong at the surface but still roaring down near Cape Fear.

83 mph gust at Oak Island.

Almost 16 foot waves just a few miles off Wilmington. That is pretty high for that close to shore.
