  1. The system crawled through Eastern NC, well inland. I remember watching the radar. By the time the center came onshore, the entire Southern quadrant had already been wiped out by dry air. The 00z Euro had a much different scenario, with an offshore track until reaching NJ. It's totally irrelevant anyway. I'm sure the Euro is going to spit out an entirely different track this run.
  2. Dude, the center tracked inland for hundreds of miles. It might still have been classified as a category one storm by the time it reached up here but the winds were mostly offshore. Irene was a 12 hour monsoon. I know because I lived it.
  3. Why is that irrelevant? Secondly, it doesn't make landfall until reaching Southern NJ. Big difference from storms like Floyd and Irene which made landfall in the Carolinas and then tracked inland.
  4. It starts off slow until North of OBX then accelerates. Makes it from Cape May to the Gulf of Maine in 24 hours. That's a distance of like 750 miles. Simple math says on average ~31.25MPH.
  5. Yes because both scenarios/setups are exactly the same.
  6. Most of the 12z tropical guidance shifted North with landfall near Jacksonville in about 72 hours. FWIW, the 06z GEFS were very unimpressed with a weak storm gradually making it into the Western Gulf.
  7. Lots of wind and rain. It looks pretty fierce at 850mb. Need to see more panels between 216 and 240.
  8. Day 8-9 on the Euro is not exactly in the same ballpark as day 16 on the Goofus.
  9. Looks like most of the rain for tonight will be centered further SW towards Philly and Southern NJ per the NAM and HRRR. The 06z RGEM was further NE.
  10. Both the 12z GFS and the ECMWF show an organized TC in the Southern Bahamas in the Day 9-10 time frame. Obviously a lot can change, including land interaction, but the setup is pretty intriguing for the East coast and New England with a well timed, relatively deep trough moving through the lakes. If the TC arrives early or the front speeds up, it could punt the storm OTS like the GFS. The Euro verbatim looks like it would be somewhat of a phase, similar to Floyd.
  11. Most of Abaco Island and Grand Bahama are already destroyed. The only downside is that it could stop some of the recovery effort, but the damage is already done.
  12. Things will change dramatically over the next few days. But what an ominous track/look on the day 10 Euro for the East coast with that deep trough digging in.
  13. It helps that the models aren't really developing the system until it reaches the islands and by then it's really far South and West for a recurve OTS.
  14. The track is almost identical to Wilma until it gets past Florida. System would have quite the PRE as well.
  15. The Euro keeps 94L weaker much longer, but still eventually develops the system North of the islands in about a week. The question from here is does the ridge over the Eastern US hold and push the steer the storm towards Florida or does the incoming trough pull it North at the last minute?
  16. It's the peak of Hurricane season. It would be abnormal if we didn't at least have a threat to track right now lol.
  17. 12z GFS still develops 94L as the system approaches the lesser Antilles, very close to where Dorian formed. The track is then close to Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.
