sliding west


The forecast models for Hurricane Arthur are all sliding to the west, with the potential of the storm going right over Pamlico Sound.  This is not a good thing as the barrier island could get hit with wind and waves from both sides, from the ocean side ahead of the counter-clockwise spinning storm and from the sound side on the backside of the storm.  Arthur should come through from about 2 a.m. to 8 a.m., so at first light we'll have a pretty good idea of what's going on.

That future track is way off from weather.gov.

Local officials are saying Max 60mph winds north of Oregon Inlet.

Wonder which is right?

No sleeping tonight.

other tracking areas on Wunderground show a different track, same as weather.gov - slicing Hatteras between Eastern Frisco and Avon.
