Hermione is definitely messing with us in eastern NC.
The 11 PM forecast last night had the track crossing over or slightly west of Washington, NC; with 50 MPH winds and 5” of rain. The 5 AM track had the storm coming out between Georgetown and Myrtle Beach, SC and running up the coast. The 8 AM update moved the track a bit north so it will basically be over Wilmington, NC at 1 AM on Saturday, track over the Outer Banks, and come out around Cape Hatteras/Manteo area. More time over land, so lower winds on the new track. But the projection keeps changing, but right now they say 35 MPH winds with gusts to 50 and 6” of rain. (BTW, Sunday 1AM forecast is for the center to be 100-200 miles off the Delmarva Peninsula with max winds under 40 – under 30 to the NW and SW) But they will update the forecast track again in a bit over an hour, so all that may change again. I’m leaving in a few minutes to take care of my 38, my 25, a friend’s 29-2, and the 72 foot schooner I captain.

Current GFS forecast for Annapolis is 25-30 (down from 30-45). Sunday am looks wet.

My Friday-Monday trip looks pretty doubtful right now unless I want to contend with a lot of rain and wind. It changes constantly, but as of this morning it looks like I can go to Rock Hall Friday night with light winds and get a strong northerly on the stern to run home Saturday and beat the storm back home.
