Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine and Hurricane Humberto

No doubt where the actors on the stage are. 94L is dealing with land interaction in the DR, while Humberto is gaining spiral bands.

Yall keep the info coming., got a niece and family at Parris Island, SC.. she said they may have to evacuate.. did not hear where she got this info.. edit.. military planning dept. monitoring the storms.
I’m in central Virginia and I need to watch this as well. Not often I get a TC because of the mountains to the west, so storms that pack a punch well inland need to come from the southeast like this one may do.
 
94L getting its act together in spite of the "CoC" (if you can call it that yet) being basically on the DR around Santo Domingo. Lots of lightning.

I think my friends are going to their beach house in north Carolina next week @Atlantic . I’ll never understand why it’s always September lol during hurricane season. Feel like a lot of people don’t think about it though.

Because then you could get caught in evacuation traffic and all that etc. yeah no thanks, if I did vacations along coast it wouldn’t be Aug/oct

If it pans out to it moving inland over the east coast, you might get some of its remnants, but I’ll potentially get it as a TS or TD.

This is all leaning on if it goes inland or not, because if it goes OTS, we will probably get nothing from it.
 
It's not too early for folks to start talking about the potential amount of water coming. Ugly output from 12Z euro.

(GFS keeps it mostly offshore? Still a ton of moisture shown coming.)

18ZGFS is Imelda into the NC/SC border area, then its moisture sucked back out to Humberto via NE NC.
 
The dreaded I named storm. Hopefully Imelda won’t wind up joining the list of I named storms that got its name retired.
It should have been kicked out of the house back in 2019 tbh after all of the flooding it caused.
 
Given that the effects of the gulf stream are well known to enhance hurricanes, and knowing that the models take that into account only slightly, I fear a scenario the models are missing, and that being Imelda asserting dominance in the interaction due to RI over the gulf stream, causing Humberto to rotate counterclockwise around and not pull Imelda out as quickly. Not making a prediction, but as someone who has watched systems RI in the stream, that's a thought I want to have recorded ahead of time.

This (similar strength H&I):

Instead of this (H stronger than I, currently modeled, H vampiring I's moisture as I makes landfall):

Yep. These are situations where the utility of models are particularly challenged by the sheer number of confounds present. Either way, I'm worried for the Carolinas, but hoping for the best.
 
0ZNAM - Not a sight you often see. NAM seems to want to spin up Imelda faster than the long range models.

NAMNST on board at the end of it's range.

0ZGFS - Imelda outruns Humberto, landfall northern SC, further inland to W/NC. Drops 5 inches of rain in the mountains in 24hrs, 10+ in the peak spot. Not as widespread as the euro dumping a foot+ on most of NC, but bad enough.
