Post your SC/NC weather condition please.

[Thatsmrhurricane]

Okay . . . just started to blow in sheets and sideways. 77.7 temp and falling. 96% hum.

Max Mayfield on Fox just awhile ago said he thought it would probably make land fall near the NC and SC border.

Johnston County at I40/I95 Corridor

BRING IT ON ERNIE AND THEN LEAVE!!

Wow pressure at 29.38, are you sure?

29.37 now...yep...that's what my weather station is picking up..

Angela

it might be that your pressure is off, as you live in the hills and it is probably reading the actual sea level pressure, since your station is higher up it reads lower...because there is no way your current pressure is 995 millibars...BTW, my pressure is steady at 1012.5...

[Regit]

Just inland from MB...

Winds steady around 20, gusts up to 28 occasionally. Did have one freak gust of 41, the first (and so far only) TS gust.

Temp is 73, Dewpoint 71, Barometer reading 29.61.

[Lowpressure]

Nice band moving through now with gusty winds maybe 20mph. Just a lot of rain in 24 hours here. Pressure 29.88

Tomb, where are you reporting from? You seem to be getting the worst of anyone posting on this board... and if you're in the storms path, good luck man... 45 mph is usually when power begins to go out.

I dont know how I can be having the worst weather. I'm up in Kill Devil Hills...and I'm just floored that I'm getting these conditions. The winds are just constant coming off the ocean. I believe it might be the pressure gradiant that is developing from the High to the north and the deeping Erensto to the south. I dont know if the aneometer is not correct that is up on the roof or what, but the wind is just absolutely horrible. I have nothing to my east, but ocean and that is where the wind is coming from. Nothing to block it.

Just got home from work and the winds are definetly picking up it has been raining steadily, We may have had gusts up to 30-35 mph, but I haven't experienced anything higher. I waiting to see how this goes as I am 4 miles off the ocean and 6 miles from the NC/SC line. I imagine the next 2-3 hours will be interesting.

[Stormsfury]

Not much to report from Ladson/Summerville ...

Did pick up a heavy rain squall around noon time today and final tallies putting here just a smidgeon above an inch of rain and a some winds gusting as high as 30 mph a couple of times ....

A wave of low pressure developed along the trough and I believe that caused the sudden shift in which made my original forecast track off by 70 miles to the east.

that is where Max Mayfield said he thought it would make landfall ( about an hour ago) and he was worried about storm surge and flooding. Be safe!

[Thatsmrhurricane]

Wind is really picking up here. Gusty. Still light rain.

[emeraldislencguy]

a tornado warning has been issues for carteret country--(the county I live in)--this is the second warning in the past few minutes--so many people are so complacent about the storm--they are just saying it it a tropical storm--but they need to realize it is almost a cat 1 hurricane--Ilive aobut a half bock from the ocean--and the rain is relaly picking up now

[tomboudreau]

Here is our aneomter that is constantly being pegged between 30 and 40 MPH. This picture was taken at 6:06 PM.

Persistent rain here in Durham, NC all day. Every couple of hours or so, it'll come down in buckets for 5-10 min. Classic tropical-style "dense" rain...tremendous number of small drops very close together.

As I speak, we're getting another one of those squalls again. The sky will darken, and about five minutes later it'll open up.

In between squalls, it's a light pitter patter, almost a mist. Air is so thick with moisture that windshield wipers only serve to smear the moisture around the glass...it doesn't evaporate off.

Not much wind to speak of. I'd say ENE at around 10 mph or so.

All I can say is...it's good to be back in the South and not in CA anymore. I'd missed this type of weather immensely.

[kenl01]

So much for Ernesto around here. It was no big deal - sort of what I expected.

just cloudy, winds between 15 to 20mph. Rain has ended.

It was pretty unimpressive............next please...

[Thatsmrhurricane]

We have gotten about 2.25 inches in the past 2 hours, and no sign of letting up. Hurricane warning expires in about 10 minutes.

[Thatsmrhurricane]

Winds are now NE 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts. Lt rain.

[ncgirl]

We have fairly steady rain here. It becomes heavy as we get a band then subsides some. The wind has started gusting fairly steady between 15 and 20 mph.

[Thatsmrhurricane]

30-35 mph gusts. Small trees are bending. Large trees swaying. Little rain.
