Eye has opened up on the SE side according to satellite. Just have to hope this is more than a short term trend. In any case, the warned areas of SC/NC should prepare for a Cat 2 storm.
Thanks y'all for a great intro to FR. Sorry it wasn't under better circumstances. I am off to bed...everyone have a good night...
I found the following four radars helpful: Jacksonville, FL; Charleston, SC; and Greer, SC; and Wilmington, NC.
Links are:
Jacksonville, Fl Long Range Base Reflect
Wilmington, NC Long Range Base Reflect
Charleston, SC Long Range Reflect Radar
Greer, SC (Charlotte NC area included) Long Range Reflect
At this hour, the eye seems to be falling apart, but I AM NOT A WEATHERMAN.
There is a band of showers around Charlotte (quite a ways inland) -- otherwise, the system is basically offshore.
