National Hurricane Center puts development probability for the blob of rain over us at only 50%, but it looks like it might run up the coast, close to the Outer Banks. If so, looks worthless in terms of wave potential. For those with access, Washington Post's Weather Gang has an assessment. |

Been watching the model updates. Hoping it doesn't hug the coast too much. The virtual buoys predictions for next week have been on a downward tick every model run. But, here is hoping we do get a NE swell kicked back at us. We deserve it. Right?

Irma Gunch, Modine's sister. I was wondering what the circulation over us was.

Interesting rain forecast map. A lot of NC is evidently having a severe drought, so it'll rain like crazy offshore. Cold front with low pressure system moving north from Florida. Fly to Islip?

meh, the last one that was a full on Cane gave them only one day of surf..... this thing weaker + moving faster = don't blink or you may miss the "swell" we have some waves here today. waiting for tide to fill in and wind to rotate more |

virtual buoys show something from NE friday and Saturday. Could we get so lucky of having a NE swell for a 3 day weekend...(hope not cursing it)....
Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL102017 500 AM EDT Tue Aug 29 2017 The disturbance has developed a center that has been trackable this evening though it is still not well-defined, since it appears to be considerably elongated northeast-southwest. The disturbance continues to display very cold, but extremely asymmetric deep convection with all of the thunderstorm activity east of the center due to strong vertical shear. Moreover, the convection is showing no identifiable banding features. So the system is not yet a tropical cyclone. Regardless of the label we use to describe this hybrid system, maximum winds are around 35 kt based upon a Dvorak classification from TAFB and observed winds just below that from the NDBC Buoy 41013. The initial motion of the disturbance is northeast at a faster rate of about 10 kt. Continued acceleration is expected during the next couple of days as a mid- to upper-level trough over the Great Lakes moves closer to the system. The NHC forecast track takes the disturbance across the North Carolina coastline today. By tonight, the cyclone is forecast to move offshore and accelerate over the Atlantic in the mid-latitude westerlies. The NHC track forecast lies near the middle of the guidance envelope and is not substantially changed from the previous advisory. Given the poor organization of the disturbance and the strong wind shear environment that it is embedded within, the chances of this disturbance becoming a tropical cyclone have decreased to about a coin flip. Nonetheless, the potential impacts of tropical-storm- force winds across portions of North Carolina are likely today even if the system does not become a tropical cyclone. The system is expected to become extratropical in 24 hours or less when it interacts with the aforementioned mid- to upper-level trough. Significant strengthening as an extratropical cyclone is forecast for a couple of days due to baroclinic forcing. No significant change has been made to the NHC intensity forecast. The track, intensity, and wind radii forecasts from 24 to 120 h are based on guidance provided by NOAA's Ocean Prediction Center.

It is over open water now. Now we wait. Checking the buoys off the Northeast and the waters are being churned up.
Virtual buoys keep it small NE into the 3 day weekend. But, maybe they are wrong. Come on NE swell for the 3 day weekend! |

Looking at those buoys to the North of us. South Hatty, etc. NE swell in the water!

Irma now a cat 2.
Some model tracks have recurve but the more reliable euro keeps it on a collision course for us, or south of Florida. Chances are it'll come right for us because I leave for Peru to surf the longest left in the world on Tuesday. Which if this thing even threatens us, work cancells my trip
I'm getting a little disgruntled lol. Last year the day I was supposed to surf steamer lane I got called back because of Matthew. The timing if this thing is impeccable ------------------------- WPTV NewsChannel5/Fox 29 Snapchat: Surfnweatherman |
