Next up: power outages. This wind could bring down trees with the soggy ground.

On the way to Belleville we passed a Smithton emt towing a water rescue boat S of town turning onto Robinson School Rd. This was about 10 minutes ago.

Upon further review, I suppose the Flood Warning covers any flash flooding. I guess. My apologies to the NWS.

I posted 1-1/2" last night around 8:30pm and 2-13/16" just now. So 4-5/16" total so far. Joachim Creek was full but not out of its banks in Walthers Park. I think the break between 8:30 last night and whenever the 2-13/16" fell helped a lot here.

Boy, an awful lot of the EPS members are taking Florence right into the Southeast Coast somewhere as strong hurricane.
And then there's the FV3...which, ok...you'll probably just have to see for yourself.

For the lazy, it has Florence making two landfalls on the SE coast as a major hurricane in the exact same spot |

I mean, we've have twin tornadoes... why not "twin" hurricanes at this point. That data is wild. Also, for those interested, here's a pretty neat collection from last year, of Irma, documenting the storm from the "cradle to the grave" as they call it. www.stormhamster.com/entry/irma1.htmDefinitely a lot of information to ingest, but it's a pretty indepth look at the evolution of that forecast. |

Paducah went with FFWs I have had this discussion many times with the NWS...that converting a FLASH FLOOD to a FLOOD WARNING does the public a huge diservice...because no app....and no TV station...and I believe not even the Weather Radio...alert for them. FLASH FLOOD warnings should remain FLASH FLOOD warnings for at least 24 hours after an event...and the last issued update. If a day later they want to change it to an areal flood advisory or warning...thats fine. By then, people are aware of the situation and you are just advising with updates until the water receives. But to do it sooner leads to major confusion. |

The precip our west looks like it’s shrinking to me! That’d be just fine!

But to do it sooner leads to major confusion. I think we received a Flood Warning on our phones last night--sometime in the evening. Our weather radio also alerted. It didn't really do much for the actual flash flooding that occurred in our area, at least, this morning. The Flood Warning is fine, but it seems more like a "Hey, it's probably going to flood" statement. The Flash Flood Warning should really be used over the top of that as a "Hey, it's flooding RIGHT NOW" statement. |

Looks like potentially 6+ feet of rain over the outer banks and costal NC from Florence that would make Harvey look like childs play.

A bit premature to say that...the gfs which shows it stalling and spinning would produce this, but a system hanging off the east coast for days on end is extraordinarily unlikely. Much easier for a storm to park along the dead zones near the gulf. |

Basically all models have Florence growing into a very large storm in terms of size. Also have it in a major strengthening phase leading up to landfall. This is very concerning.
Also concerning..how the hell do the cards lose 2 in a row to Detroit!?
