The latest from the NHC shows that Hurricane Francine is now on land and will start to morph in the coming hours. It will change from a Hurricane to a flooding-producer and tornado-producer.
The forecast shows Francine will continue to move north through the night. I tend to think it will skirt a bit more to the east before pivoting and moving north.
The timeline on the arrival of Tropical Storm-force wind is shown in the graphic below on the left and the percent-chance you see Hurricane-force winds is below and on the right. Notice the Hurricane-force winds are confined mainly to the immediate coastline.
Below is the county-by-county breakdown. The storm is still strengthening, there is a chance this forecast will change. So please take this for now, but check back for an update.
Please note that all times shown begin on Wednesday and – if needed – move into Thursday morning.
QUICK NOTES
As we talked about last night and earlier today, the dry air – and a little shear – are going to do a number on this thing now that it has moved onshore. The dry air is pushing in from the west and despite the plume of moisture on the east side of the storm, eventually this thing will be cut – nearly – in half with only the northern side with any meaningful rainfall and the east side featuring a tornado risk.
So if you live south of – roughly – Highway 84 the forecast has actually shifted slightly slower, again. That said, some spots will still have plenty of wind and a tornado threat to deal with. For folks north of HWY 84 the forecast has slowed and your wind has also slowed because it looks like this thing may get eaten up a bit quicker.
The good news is the erosion of the back half of the storm as it moves ashore means that the rainfall totals have been reduced for many spots.
I know this may feel like a stressful situation, but I promise you that if you take the right steps, have a plan in place, and execute that plan, you’ll make it through the storm with far less stress.
