Here in northern South Carolina the skies are beginning to clear and haven’t seen rain in
awhile and was never all that heavy or for very long. People on the beach. Winds very normal and light. Would never have guessed that rain was from a hurricane passing offshore. Arthur
has been mostly a big nothing around here.
The Bbc weather forecast At 10.30 pm just reported on hurricane Arthur and said it might just brush the carolinas but wouldn’t make landfall. Let’s see if they are right
Tonyb
TWCis forecasting a hit on Hatteras.
I can’t believe this thing got up to Cat 2 over Atlantic water in early July, Though I’m at Cape Canaveral, and the water’s already bathtub warm.
It’s OK folks, it will only hit Newfoundland :^)
Well, at least this one has a MALE name….
Many thanks to Joe Bastardi. He posted a warning for this hit on the Outer Banks last Sunday on Weatherbell.com and then here at WUWT on Monday, June 30th. He and Joe D’Aleo gave everyone a head’s up and hopefully everyone affected paid attention and no lives will be lost.
The Joes’ record of correct predictions is probably unsurpassed, although they are too humble to take that much credit.
looks like this one may hit me in maine with 60 to 70 knot winds.
MODS-something triggered cannot be posted first try so this may be repeat.
Recon link if interested.

The dry air inflow on the NW and W side must have been quite strong all day. In North Charleston, about 6 miles from Charleston Harbor entrance, it didn’t rain a drop! Wind was up to about 20-25 kts as it was E of us, but limited to the very top of the trees. On the ground, it was a non-event, in spite of all the NWS hype on VHF. NWS really needs to hire some professional weathercasters who can speak English in an interesting way and know how to read the radar display. Their mechanical voice repeating the exact same statistical drivel over and over is horrible. A tornado can be ripping right through the middle of the city and the NWS 162 Mhz computer drones on about yesterday’s low was 72 back in 1922, today’s high was 101 in 1963…who cares?! If people want those statistics they CERTAINLY have internet access and can read it. I gave up trying to get the programming on 162 Mhz changed to something useful.
Storm never touched 6 miles inland from Charleston Harbor….very compact little storm.

All this useless nonsense is read over and over as part of our weather roll on 162.55 Mhz.
This is the first Hurricane to hit the U.S. in how long?
Here’s another nice link:

Scroll east to see the storm.
I neglected to state the image link I posted on recon autoupdates every 10 minutes while they are in the air.
Thoughts and prayers to those impacted by Arthur
Very strange that earth: nullschool has this image: http://earth.nullschool.net/#2014/07/04/2100Z/wind/surface/level/overlay=total_cloud_water/orthographic=-72.92,40.33,556
And the link from Louis has it here; a bit lower. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php
I’d have thought the null earth would be behind current radar…odd or just me?
There is another one coming that’s probably much stronger. Right now forming at 12 degrees North 142 degrees East. (East of Philippines). Look like it will be much stronger than Arthur, who may be downgraded on Saturday / Sunday.
Well not to worry. On average, which is how climate is measured (over 30 years), tropical storm Arthur will hardly be noticed.
When I was coming across the Pacific by ship, we got clobbered by the tidal wave from an offshore earthquake up around Alaska.
The wave struck the ship at about 400 miles per hour (I assume that was nautical). It was an event I shall never forget. Caused some damage in Hawaii, and also went way up some rivers in Australia, I believe. Wavelength was about 150 miles, and I think they said the wave height was one foot.. I’m sorry for the rod/stone/fortnight units, but that’s how I remembered it. The skipper sounded the ships horn to warn everyone when the wave hit us.
So Arthur will be just an asterisk in the climate history books; on average.

It looks like Nova Scotia will first get a good whack.
This radar image shows swarms of birds in the eye of the hurricane :

Pretty cool!

“ Wavelength was about 150 miles, and I think they said the wave height was one foot..”
That is worth the price of admission. With the “we got clobbered” part providing the misdirection, I was LOL with the 1ft. Thanks.

Thanks ren, didn’t even catch that. Duh, on my part.
Amazing how much Arthur has cold the western Atlantic. I wonder if this may have an effect on early winter ice formation. If it proceeds on the projected track it will really do a number on the warmer water the gulf stream would normally deliver to the arctic.

Arthur? A male name? Not always. And we get a bonus “B” name here too.
Sorry, I could only take about 2 minutes of that. Amazing how we are still dealing with the same agenda almost 40 years later.
Not seeing any wind speeds reaching 50mph on the Wundermap right now. Was it hurricane force over land earlier?
NWS reports from Dare County Regional (Manteo, Roanoke Island, North Carolina) show no wind gusts higher than 47mph or barometer lower than 28.91 over the last three days as of 0535 EDT, 4 Jul 14. Another busted forecast. Another lost payday for the folks on the outer banks.
Probably one of the most ridiculous things ever written from ignorance here. Too stupid to deconstruct, in fact.
