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.

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:

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
