UNISYS Enhanced Infrared Southeast Satellite (click for 12 hour loop)
Noted 'converging' storm fronts in loop. The tropical storm from the Atlantic and weather front from the west. The waves at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina have been substantial for the entire time this tropical storm has been developing. Not fun. There were sand sculpture building at one of the hotels because the tide was too strong for the little ones.
