Very true.I believe the rain bands can be a long way away from the storm center.
Big into the exploration of Atlantic Hurricanes since Katrina came uninvited into his world, James (Jim) Gurley (JamesG161) has followed every Tropical Storm birthed in Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean waters since. Being a boater, he knows that we often need more time to prepare than we get from the TV weather folk. Jim relies on the science of storm development to share early warning info with friends and fellow boaters.
Early in 2018, Jim and John Shepard, (JSSailem) started to chat about the weather data available. John asked Jim to help forecast Pacific NW storms, and this morphed into discussions on weather forecasting.For John, sailing in the PNW is sometimes hit and miss. One day is ugly, then a string of beautiful days but no wind, followed by a series of blue-sky days and 12 knot breezes. Being ready for those great sailing days means you need to look to the Pacific Ocean and what is brewing. John has been into Pacific NW Weather since the 1970’s when his first PNW November storm hit bringing more than 40 days and 40 nights of continual rain.
Together we want to share information, new APPs, safety, and thoughts about letting the weather help you. Identify some of the resources for sailors and help prepare you for your next sailboat outing.It is far better to go out on the water knowing what to expect in weather terms, than to be out on the water and see dark ominous clouds suddenly appear, unprepared.

Will, Loon Mtn just finished repairing the access bridge that was taken out by Irene! Not far from yout's funny, but Irene didn't do much damage in NH
I would say with the storm surge and the rain there will be changes. Floating debris (flotsam) and that which may be thrown from a boat to save it (jetsam)Will it make a mess of the ICW?
You got weather sliding down the trough low-pressure from the storm. Effectively how a nor’easter behaves off-shore, in this case it came back down the appalachians.We got more rain last night from the Storm Formerly Known as Florence with her now hundreds of miles away than we did when she was right smack dab on top of us. Weird stuff going on.
I remember him well.Crazy Ivan.
I had forgot that. Rare storm on the ABC islands, which are normally referred to as "desert islands".First hurricane in like 50 years.
All thought the same after Katrina in most Gulf fish producing states. Add to that even the BP oil spill.Good bye fall shrimping season, goodbye shellfish industry, goodbye tourism, hello ruined uninsured homes and business.
This is the current temperature anomaly or the difference in historical surface temps and now.IMHO Florence and its spinoffs will be the most Global weather disturbance in modern history.
This is Florence from SpaceAmazingly Huge amount of Solar Energy removed from the Atlantic.
