FLORENCE UPDATE

This afternoon, models came much more into agreeance. Whether this holds, remains to be seen obviously. The ridge is strong, and it appears this will shift the storm more west into the Carolinas, inland and up west of the mts. Well, what does that mean. It means not much rain in our area until early next week. For the Carolinas, it means they take a big wallop of the catastrophic level late Thursday night, through Saturday. This latest track(my gut thinks this holds) spares the words like, catastrophic, serious, in our area. Now, we still look to get rains as the remnants lift north. This looks like the type that can cause already high waterways to come out of their banks in spots, but not in a major way and not in anyway more than we have seen already. Areas north that saw the flooding this past weekend, I don’t currently see a repeat of that.  Rainfall amounts are looking to be 1-3″, isolated higher, exception vs rule, if, and I stress IF things remain on this course. A slower movement, a quicker lift north could again alter that and increase these totals.

Here is a look at Florence today

Florence stats and NHC projection cone(notice the more southward turn in their cone)Screenshot_20180911-200511

The 12z ECMWF precip type next 240hrs and amounts. Notice these amounts are through mid next week, because the remants pass Mon-Wed timeframe(precip totals also include some precip prior to the remnants, same as the GFS)

Lets look at the 12z ECMWF ensemble members on Low locations, thats a lot of agreement.

The 18z GFS, notice the similarity now to the 12z ECMWF, and amounts off the model.

Spaghetti Charts, that south trend, and the west path, theme of today and given the ridge north, seems legit.

A closer look in as the 18z 3km nam comes into range of landfall. 10m winds(not gust, gust will be higher at landfall)
