OK I know this is the Central Fl Hur Cen and primary focus is there. But for the handfull of us from the Tarheel state that really trust this site, any comments on Hanna as far as possible impact to NC? Last couple frames of sat loop appears to have convection firing near the center, could she still get her act together and will she make a westward move? I notice she is currently moving due north. I think scottsvb posted earlier today that her convection at that time was driven by the ULL to her sw is the convetion now being driven by her on pressure falls or still influenced by the ULL? One last thing, I notice that the huge upper level trough in the n'east is finally moving out, I that would allow the high to build in and possibly push her northwestward.
It'll probably be a category 1 hurricane at landfall. Hanna lost the inner core, and as sheared as it is it would take a long time to regenerate it. If it does, then strengthening could happen quicker. The rule of thumb is to prepare for 1 category above what is projected, so I'd prepare for a Category 2 hurricane impacting your area and hoping for less.
But this is the time where local media and officials are going to be way better than anything on the internet.
One thing is to check the local hurricane statements Wilmington NC Local Hurricane Statement
