Here is the projected path of Hurricane Florence.

Since the NHC/NOAA updates this IMAGE, it should change with passing time:

You are right. It was a major hurricane earlier this week.

And it is projected to be a major hurricane BEFORE it hits the warm waters of the GULF STREAM.

Joe nailed the track about a week ago.

Anyone know if the Fleet is moving out of Norfolk? South Carolina is taking it seriously.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Joe Bastardi and the weather information he presents, but he toots his own horn way too much and also tries way too hard to be funny or entertaining. I literally just wasted 13 minutes watching the Saturday Summary with no new information. He tooted his own horn for ten minutes. Joe, it’s ok to say you predicted it, but not for ten minutes of a thirteen minute video, particularly when you don’t even give any details about where Florence is going to go over the next 5 days. I really hope he reads this feedback because he is good, but all too often he loses complete focus tooting his own horn, ranting about something political, or trying to be funny. I much more enjoy when he educates us and presents actual forecasts. He doesn’t have to drop the horn tooting, political commentary, or humor, but he should recognize it’s not why we watch his videos. Any more than a few seconds off topic and not dedicated to educating us on weather or forecasting is a waste, Joe. Rant over.

Tropical Tidbits is my favorite tropical weather website.

https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/

His youtube presesntations whenever there’s an active storm are second to none. There’s also many good maps, models, and satellite loops on the site as well.

My other favorite is http://spaghettimodels.com/

I live in the Appalachians. Usually storms off the Atlantic lose most of their punch before they reach the mountains.

I don’t see GA being impacted on the map...

Repairs to our neighbor’s house that was smashed by the September 2017 hurricane aren’t completed yet....Two new houses have been started and completed in that period of time in the neighborhood.

The storm track, location, intensity and date are a near perfect match for Hurricane Isabel. It's made the same bootleg in the same place, and is following what looks like the exact same path. This thing is probably going to land somewhere near the NC-VA border and smack square into DC.

Better to be SAFE versus SORRY with Hurricanes.

This storm was a major hurricane then became a tropical storm and is supposed to become a Category 4 hurricane later this week.

Originally, the track was supposed to be East and North of Bermuda. Now it is West and South of Bermuda.

Things can change with the path of a hurricane.

Plus, the size of the hurricane may impact a larger area...

Hurricane Camille, in the late 1960's to early 1970's, took up almost the entire Gulf of Mexico with the storm. This storm had gusts up to 200 mph.

I’m well inland in NC and as the evening progressed tonight it did start to feel as if a storm was building off the coast. Getting breezy, misty drizzle interspersed with heavier rain (loose bands) and warm. A lot can happen between now and any landfall however, and these storms are notoriously capricious, I say this on every hurricane thread. So, I’m saying it on this one. At least there’s no officious thread monitor attempting to be gatekeeper on what can and cannot be said, yet. I’m sorry, but that’s obnoxious and overbearing behavior.

Dragging up dire comparisons to past worst case storms is not helpful and not terribly likely, however. The NC coast gets hurricanes fairly regularly, I’ve driven the length of the OBX from Kitty Hawk to Ocracoke mere days after one, have driven over the temporary steel plate bridges over newly cut inlets, have seen the houses fallen into the Atlantic, the campers and park models reduced to wreckage lining the sides of Highway 12 waiting to be hauled away, dune lines blown into the highway, which has to be plowed to keep the road open, etcetera.

Even if it does hit here, it’s normal. It’s happened for centuries, throughout recorded history. It’s a tough place, with tough people, recently relocated northeasterners notwithstanding.

So, dialing down the panic-inducing talk going forward would be advisable.

This seems as if it might interfere with getting through Marine Corps boot camp on time.

My title does not dial up panic... It just a way to give folks an advanced warning that events (such as high school football and college football may be cancelled next weekend.

I disagree with many things that Democrat John Bel Edwards (Governor of Louisiana) does. But it was prudent to call out the National Guard for Tropical Storm Gordon.

Louisiana had really MINIMAL impact from that storm.

There have been serious traffic jams such as in Houston, TX with previous storms.

Having a week's warning allows people to make plans. If 10 million people decide to take one Interstate Highway at the last minute (and they have had a "Week's Warning", that is their fault...)

Hurricanes can be very unpredictable.

You may be totally right about minimal impact to Georgia.

On the other, there may be events cancelled in Georgia this weekend because of the storm...

There was something tonight that the storm may turn SOUTH as it comes ashore. Things are JUST A GUESS AT THIS POINT.

Additionally, the size of the storm may be getting as large as Hurricane Camille did about 40+ years ago (that was a Category 5 storm).

In the case of Camille, it first looked like it would hit Corpus Christi... Then Houston appeared to be the target... Louisiana seemed to be the likely place for it to land ashore.

It ended up hitting the Mississippi (state) coast.

When it finally went ashore, it almost totally filled the Gulf of Mexico as seen from satellite.

Georgia may just get a little rain and wind.

But it still has several days in which it can head to Georgia...

One TV network showed that there are several weather systems/fronts affecting the path of this storm.

By early Thursday morning, we should know if Georgia will be impacted.
