...and bring some rain our way! Alas, may I suggest you don't hold your breath....
Landfall was just south of Naples at Cape Romano around 5 am, Fay remaining at tropical storm strength (remember to click on pics to enlarge). Typical of any tropical system, it brings with it bands of torrential rain and sporadic weak tornadoes.
The "rain total" image below will certainly be outdated as the day wears on, with already impressive rain totals quickly adding up. Keep in mind radar-estimated totals are 'hot' and under certain conditions can record twice as much rain as actually fell. Regardless, it's a wet day for the Sunshine State...
A couple of significant cold fronts coursing through the Carolinas will act as a lid and keep Fay (or the remnants thereof) going much of nowhere over days and days...the 5-day forecast map below tells it all:
What does that mean for most of NC? Virtually no answer to water woes. Oh, there will be the 30-40% chances for widely scattered storms for several days, starting the latter half of this week...but it definitely won't be the soaker it could have been. I'll update if and when I see any significant changes in the going forecast, of course.
Could there be "Gustav" waiting in the wings well east of the Windward Islands? Methinks so...
