So they gonna get a touch of cold rain then some hot rainThat rain is part of a cold front that is moving through.

I was out picking up some fruit and ran into a lodge brother. I said "hey man you all set for the next few days? He replied, it ain't going to do nothing...I said clearly you don't watch the news." It's amazing how people dismiss major storms and then shit a brick when it hits.
I never made that mistake again. Not knowing if you were going to die for 8 hours was mentally exhausting.
For a while I thought I was not going to make it and accepted my death
The GFS model has done an exceptional job in predicting this storm. It has significantly outperformed the ECMWF model.
The GFS model predicts Helene will track inland as a hurricane for hundreds of miles. The jet stream will be pulling the storm quicker than other hurricanes that don't have that influence.
Fam, did I read this right? You're saying it's gonna still be a hurricane even when it's inland?
Seem like This storm about to hit the same exact area Hurricane Idalia did
That store still supposed to be a hurricane when they reach Atlanta this is going to cause a lot of problems
The link not showing. What was this about?
Yes sir, especially if it reaches cat 4 strength. It’s moving fast so it will be a hurricane inland into mid Georgia.
Ryan Hall just said on the stream that there's a chance it will reach Cata 5. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
Cat 5 that quick damn… but I guess anything is possible
So if that’s the case ATL might see a cat3 storm W0W
It's possible.
Kinfolk I have a serious but stupid question
Fast moving major system or slow moving minor system?
ATL is too far inland to get cat 3 winds. You talking up to 130 mph winds lol.
Atlanta can get tropical storm force winds. The eye would be over land far to long to maintain that level of strength
I love seeing the satellite images when the sun is setting. You can see the shadows of the cloud tops.
Reminds me of Hurricane Lidia which hit Puerta Vallarta in 2023. My sister lives there and she and her neighbors weren't worried at all. Then that shit went from Cat 1 to Cat 4 in nine hours.
20 feet storm surge is crazy
So far Helene has been lazy as fuck. Hopefully we are all wrong about it gaining intensity quicklyI love seeing the satellite images when the sun is setting. You can see the shadows of the cloud tops.
Yea I figured that just was thinking about the damage I seen Issac do to the area.
Man I think there’s still water from that storm in some parts of Laplace
Dawg it had water just chill for a loooong time after that shit
So far Helene has been a dud. She ain’t done shit. Hopefully when we wake up she ain’t a cat 3/4
But so far, knocks on wood we seem to be getting some luck

Right now it’s not an impressive storm. Dry air has kicked her butt.
When looking at the cloud tops they appear to be gaining moisture because the current rain rates look a bit weak. Tonight will be critical because that dry air is not impacting her now. So there is a chance she can blow up
But those cloud tops need to really moistened up
