I can see the tops of these. Gadget just logged a thunderbolt about 25 miles out. #VAwx #NCwx. These are menacing the Low Country cities. Ours will come down from Richmond. Morning storms are crossing from the NVA watch box to the Piedmont watch box.

Don't know what this is all about, but it seems like that 100F temperature in North Carolina/VA is about to cause some serious downbursts (per SPC).

SPC:" DISCUSSION...Surface analysis indicates a zone of wind convergence from extreme southeast VA into northern NC, with TCU evident. Temperatures are approaching 100 F with dewpoints mixing into the lower 70s F, resulting in a deep mixed layer along with high PWAT."

Hurricane Erin | Bulletin 7
A Mandatory Evacuation order remains in effect for Hatteras Island.

N.C. Hwy. 12 remains closed from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Hatteras Village due to ocean overwash. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect through midnight Saturday.

Conditions are expected to remain hazardous, especially around tonight’s 7:30 p.m. and tomorrow’s 8 a.m. high tides. As pictured here, Dare County crews are assisting NCDOT with pumping floodwater between Frisco and Hatteras (Sandy Bay) to help clear the roadway.

Based on the latest forecast, reentry is not expected to begin Saturday, Aug. 23. Officials will continue to monitor conditions and establish a staged reentry process once NCDOT can safely reopen Hwy. 12.
