Landfall some time Thursday. Winds at 130 right now.

When does Texas get the first cool front this year? Hoping it will protect us from a late September/October hurricane.

Maybe not soon enough.

1. Showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and
western Cuba, associated with a surface trough, are showing some
signs of organization.  This system is forecast to move slowly
northwestward near the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday with limited
development.  Upper-level winds are forecast to become more
conducive for development on Wednesday when the system moves over
the southern Gulf of Mexico, and a tropical depression could form
on Thursday or Friday while the disturbance moves across the
western Gulf of Mexico.  Interests across northeastern Mexico and
the coast of Texas and Louisiana should monitor the progress of
this system.  Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty
winds are likely over western Cuba through Tuesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

I think Florence is heading to Hendersonville, NC.

I read this the other day and... nuthin'.  Oh well.

Looked at it for 2 seconds today and chuckled (and gave a like).  Brains - how do they work?

So far my area (10m NE of D.C.) isn't panicking - yet.  If Florence makes a N/NW turn around that big high sitting above it in the Atlantic (many time hurricanes curve around the circular edges of highs, they really like that) and shoots north just west of us, it could be a nail biter for me, doing work to fix up this house.  Nothing like a huge tree falling on the roof or otherwise fucking up the place. Yeah RIP mom still "has" house insurance for a bit longer, but don't want to go that route.

Otherwise I'm planning to take in the Temple-Maryland game in College Park this weekend - but not under 8 inches  - of rain, that is.  They'll probably cancel it is what I predict.

Got dammit this thing better behave.

Isaac tracking low, no guarantees, but it's acting like a Central American landfall storm.  Of course everyone (especially I) thought Harvey was gonna do that and blew it off.

South Carolina Governor orders evacuation of the entire coastline.  This should go well.  

My company is sending 4 people from my team to Charleston to get ready for this. I am not one of the unlucky ones. Hell yea

This thing is gonna explode before it hits land if projections keep up.  The flooding is gonna be huge all the way up in to central Virginia and the Carolinas.

No doubt.  Just saying that mass evacuation orders never go well.

That possible X is gonna fuck up the Yucatan.

It will just be a rain maker for Mexico. The trouble could begin when it reaches the BOC.

Florence gonna likely make landfall as 4. Storm surge could get above 20 ft in some places.

True, good thing it's the end of the season.  Guys who live  here on the Outer Banks are figuring once they leave (mandatory evac. for visitors tomorrow morning @ 7:00)  It'll be 2+ weeks before they're allowed back on the island, and anyone who stays here could be confined to their homes and not allowed outside their property for up to 2 weeks.  

Much of central VA is about double normal rainfall totals since late spring.  It's also been a wet past ten days, and it's supposed to rain leading up to Florence.  This could get really bad.2HEFVTPQJEZDNER7RRKB2X4SE4.png

My cousins son is stationed in Norfolk, his ship has pulled out to sea stocked with provisions so that they can provide relief efforts if needed. Go Navy!

And a LOT of that coastline is really low lying.  Yikes.  And she is expect to hit the brakes when she makes landfall.  The rainfall totals could be historic.

Especially if SC is completely spared

phdhorn could answer this better, but I think it's generally accepted as the more accurate of the two models, which in this case sucks for me.

12-30 inches of rain in them thar hills will be absolutely devastating.  

Invest 95 is making a lot of wind along the Mayan Riviera this afternoon. Fresh 30+ mph breeze along the beach. Small rain squalls coming in and the far distance I can see the larger cloud tops of a bigger storm complex.

Well done

Keeping a close eye on this bitch Florence.

I’m supposed to be heading to Savannah on Friday for a conference. It’s still a go as of now but even if it makes landfall north of there, I’m sure travel to anywhere along the coast is going to be a nightmare.

Thanks to the smarty pants weather folks in this thread for the information. It’s much appreciated!

Your mom is the mayor of Morehead City

Don’t count the chickens, bruh. Election Day is a ways off. She’s still got some campaigning to do...helping the local men with their evacuating and whatnot

Everyone out that way gtfo and be safe.

Let me do my storm prep... *follows Jeff Piotrowski*

Fucker will probably get taken out to sea and turn up on some Spanish beach sitting among 5 hotties.

Just beautiful. 

So....I'm seeing that we'll be playing USC during a tropical storm?

That should be fun.

And as a side benefit, it gives Herman and the Horns another excuse for a sure-to-be-shitty performance.

Can't believe I'm going to this one, but what the hell, been a long time since I've been out in a tropical storm.

even if it goes north, travel is going to be a cluster fuck. you are guaranteed to have one or both of your flights massively delayed or canceled.
