Re: Hurricane Arthur Heading Toward Coastal North Carolina

A 983mb pressure would give a pressure/wind relationship wind speed of 92 mph at the surface.
Arthur could become a Cat 2 sometime today based on the pressure fall, proximity of the trough and dual outflow channels.

Just my two cents.

Please pay close attention to your Local NWS Office and Emergency Management officials.
