Below is a snapshot of most of the commercial ships at sea courtesy MarineTraffic,com as of 1800Z (1400 EDT.) You don’t need a satellite image to know where Gabrielle is located. Red arrows are tankers, green are cargo ships and orange are fishing boats.
pretty cool ty for posting
That’s a really cool graphic thanks
Along the SE NC coast Small Craft Advisories are up and Gales warnings are posted for offshore waters for strong SW winds. Appears cyclogenesis is well underway with the coastal low forming off the north Florida coast.
Live surf cameras (while there is power!) for many NC beaches including the OBX at surfchex.com
Not much to see yet quite yet but later today …
Also available is a live view from Frying Pan Tower located offshore of Cape Fear, NC https://explore.org/livecams/frying-pan/frying-pan-cam
…So sorry I cannot make it tonight, Henry! I’m in Boise this week, helping my daughter move!
Coastal beaches from Savannah to Cedar Pt (NC) are socked in with moderate to heavy rain and breezy easterly winds. But this is the week we picked to be in Myrtle Beach!
Good call Henry! Here in the Cape Fear region (NC) we have something spinning up just off the eastern coastline. NE winds are getting brisk. NHC has a yellow ‘X’ with a 30% chance for development next week. Track is forecast to head off to the ENE and away from the mainland, but surf will be up at Wrightsville Beach.
We are finally getting some much needed rain this morning in SE NC. Frequent lightning strikes in t-storms but nothing severe yet.
Yea! Measurable rainfall in SE NC. Should help dampen a wildfire in SE Brunswick County that has been ruining air quality. Hope for more later today and tonight.
First batch of rain came through the Wilmington (NC) area at 0530. Sun is out now getting the atmosphere juiced up for the main event this evening.
Drought continues in the Carolina’s and the SE. Rain bucket had 0.01″ from front that passed through last evening. Down over 3 inches just this year and close to 10″ over the last 6-7 months. Hoping for some decent rain from the March 5/6 storm.
Absolutely.. Not just the Carolinas though..mid Atlantic and northeast too..we need rain and a lot off it real bad
70 degrees this morning in Wilmington, NC. A potent squall line is approaching from the west to hit around noontime. Temps crash tonight to near freezing by morning. All hatches have been battened down in preparation.
66 deg, 99% RH w/ low clouds and fog in Wilmington NC
4 inches of snow, 22 deg in Leland, NC (10 min from Wilmington. Quite the sight. Last measurable snow was 9 years ago.
55, cloudy and no wind. Heading up to 65 today in SE NC. Snow coming in Tuesday evening it’s said which may paralyze the area given the deep freeze that follows.
0z GFS from last night has a 1059mb high centered in Wyoming on Monday. Yikes that’s cold!
Ryan Maue’s X feed suggests a PV invasion out west this week. Euro weekly he posted has Atlanta hitting -4 for the low this Thursday (suggests ice fishing in GA later in the week.) Potential storm next weekend would live up to the mantra that where it has snowed it will continue to … Storm track looks to mid-Atlantic region once again.
Good morning to y’all. 28 deg in SE NC expecting a mixed bag of light snow (inland) with sleet, icy roads then rain by the PM. Snow on the radar already south of Myrtle Beach (might be virga) and on I-95. Carolinian’s don’t know to drive in this weather so best avoid NC and SC today!
71 and balmy this afternoon in Wilmington NC. One reason why the Jersey (NY, CT, MA etc) migrants resettle here! But we could still use a little rain to dent the ongoing drought.
Back edge of the last very heavy rain band from wanna be (but won’t be) TS Helene is passing by my home in SE North Carolina. My rain gauge has recorded just over 7 inches in the last 24 hours with the bulk of it coming in the past 4-5 hours. Low center remains off the Myrtle Beach coast tracking WNW, but time has just about run out for…Read More
Squall line came into SE North Carolina w/ gusty winds – almost like a rain band. Line moved East to West. Radar shows a circular system forming offshore.
Your ‘E’ storm would be Ernesto!
