Tropical Depression #16 (ready for some rain?)

A new vigorous upper-level low plunges southward into Alabama reenergizing the stalled Southeast front midweek as a very moisture-laden Tropical Depression 16 (still forecast to become Tropical Storm Nicole) tracks northward across southeast Florida. Heavy, flash-flooding rain will develop across southern and eastern Florida, coastal Georgia and the Carolinas.

Parts of the Carolinas could pick up over 6 inches of rain on Wednesday alone. Wilmington, North Carolina could have another rain event similar to Monday.

On Thursday, as Tropical Depression 16 (or Tropical Storm Nicole) becomes extratropical off the Southeast Coast and is absorbed into the developing eastern storm, the weather will improve over Florida while heavy rains continue over the Carolinas. A few showers or thunderstorms may develop over eastern Alabama and Georgia ahead of the upper-level low still lurking over the Southeast.

dammit... it already took me an extra half hour to get into work this morning because it was raining... don't feel like putting up with this all week. might have to work from home

when will people learn that wet roads + doing 40 on the highway = not a winning combination

Leland finally decided to do something about flooding on 74. They dug out large drainage ditches on the E side, and knocked a big chunk of shoulder away on the W side while doing the same thing there. hopefully it helps and only the median floods this time instead of the whole hwy turning into a pond.

Yeah, and I'm in an outdoor wedding in Wilmington this weekend.

Where specifically?

HA HA Wilmington is about to get blowed up by rain!

So glad i live in Charlotte

Yeah, we got 10.23" at the airport on Monday and 3" yesterday and we've already had at least 3" this morning... it was raining really, really hard for like an hour before I left the house. I can't believe what it will be like if that storm does hit us. :eek:

    • QB: We should look to add a developmental QB late in the draft, IMO. Never hurts to take a shot in the 6th or 7th round. I'm not sure Plummer is that guy. Bonus if it's someone who can be a short-yardage/QB sneak threat. RB: I expect we'll sign a veteran backup and draft one on day 3. Long-term we're in great shape here if Brooks recovers fully and even if he doesn't we only need a solid #2 and some depth. WR: This is a weird position because there is legit potential with what we have on the roster if XL and Coker develop and Thielen is a known quantity at this point, but obviously not a long-term piece at his age. I almost feel like the only sure fire way to upgrade our WR corp this season is to add that true #1 guy because I'm not sure a mid-tier or aging veteran does anything but muddy the water and take snaps away from XL and Coker that they need to develop. I'm still not ruling out a big trade for a true #1 here before the draft (Tee Higgins? Brandon Ayiuk?) but we will almost surely sign at least a veteran for depth. This seems like an obvious day 2 target position in the draft as well. I like Jack Bech from TCU or Ricky White III from UNLV in the 3rd. TE: I think we're done here. I know there's been talk of drafting Tyler Warren, but I honestly don't see it. Had we not re-signed Tremble I might say there's a chance, but he's obviously our TE2 and I don't see them paying him only to draft Tyler Warren, which would put Sanders as TE2 and Tremble as TE3. I could see us maybe adding a blocking TE late in the draft, but we're probably done here. OL: We may legitimately have one of the best AND deepest OLs in the league. Bringing back both Cade Mays and Austin Corbett was a solid move, but managing to re-sign Brady Christensen is massive for depth purposes. I cannot fathom how he didn't have more interest on the open market based on his versatility alone. Even Chandler Zavala showed some signs of life last year after an awful rookie season. I can see us drafting a tackle in the 4th/5th round that we feel has some upside to develop as Taylor Moton's long-term replacement, but we finally seem set here for the first time in years. EDGE: Our biggest need and it's not close. Outside of a trade for someone like Trey Hendrickson I think we almost have to draft two edge rushers in the first 4 rounds, maybe even the first 3. The closer we get to the draft the more I'm starting to think Shemar Stewart is our likely pick at #8. I'm not sure how I feel about that given his lack of sack production, but you can't question the athletic ability. It's almost certainly either him or Jalon Walker. DL: I can see us adding some more FAs for depth before the draft and drafting a player or two as well. The real interesting scenario is if Mason Graham falls to us at #8; I don't think we can pass on him, but where would he play? Do you leave your $50M free agent (Wharton) on the bench? Unlikely since I think Graham is gone before we pick, but something to consider. LB: If there's one position I'd like to see us address other than EDGE and WR it's definitely linebacker. Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace are not exactly the most inspiring tandem, IMO. Wallace flashed last year but is still very raw and Jewell is just a guy. I'd LOVE to see us go after Carson Schwesinger from UCLA, Chris Paul, Jr. from Ole' Miss or Jack Kiser from Notre Dame in the draft. The remaining FA options aren't great. CB: I'd like to see us add an experienced nickel; Mike Hilton from the Bengals would be great. Other than that, unless someone falls to us in the draft I think the most we can expect to add is some depth in the draft or later in free agency. S: We need another starter (preferably someone who is more of a cover guy) and some depth. There are options I like in the draft, but given our other needs I think the safer bet would be signing another free agent to start at FS and drafting some depth. ST: Need a long-term kicker and unless we sign one I fully expect us to draft one on day 3.
