We got the good juju thread going now!!

Let's bring a hurricane to New England!

Juju flowin':tomato:

If we're sitting here Friday and this is still pegged as a RI landfall I'll be pretty stoaked...but it's just so far out right now.

In 24 hrs it's gone from Miami, to charleston, to hatteras/new England. Lol

Yup. I only started this thread since the "threat" is there. Little we can do except monitor model trends and intensities.

That being said, the 00z Euro and 06z GFS are pretty solid looking tracks at this time.

Well after reading the posts I am pumped...probably setting myself up for disappointment...

A lot of sarcasm so far, and with 7 days before it's up here that's the way to be. It is cool to see this storm possibly in our area with a high impact but way too wide a spread still to get yourself excited.

I saw people scoff when Birv pointed out that this could fish in the main thread because none of the ensemble members showed it. Fish is looking distinctly possible based on the way this thing has trended.

Definitely not out of the realm of solutions for here, but I think he was referring to further down the coast towards FL/GA/SC/NC. It is far less likely that it's a fish storm for someone down there.

I see the 00z Euro and 06z GFS and I don't really think this is a particularly favorable SNE hurricane setup. We will need to see the second trough/shortwave dig much further south.

Of all the storms it seems Bob is somewhat similar in synoptic setup but this isn't a real classic setup right now. It will be interesting to watch things evolve over the next couple days.

Sometimes the most favorable conditions never perform..like in 2009..but setups that don't look ideal deliver the goods...it's already gotten much more favorable than it it looked late last week

lol...i guess we were thinking the same thing.

Given the GFS/Euro it seems the kind of synoptic pattern there showing means a Carolina hit then moving northeast as the trough is not deep/sharp enough to rocket the storm north into SNE.

right...I think the reason the GFS and the ECMWF hit New England is because the storm is so tucked in. It can move NNE and still hit SNE. If it's in a more classic position near or just outside HSE...it would miss.

I'm in the same boat here. I think if we see this thing make LF somewhere in SC, I think we'll see some sort of remnants hi the area. I'm not seeing a hard recurvature at this point, but most definitely not a classic NE hit with the deep midwest trough to rocket this thing due N.

Yeah agreed. It's also moving fairly slowly.

If we wind up seeing a deeper/sharper trough diving south from Canada then we have more to worry about.

The GFS ensemble mean sort of has a Gloria-esque track with totally different synoptics. Much slower, weaker trough, less and later trough interaction.

The problem with Earl is the ULL did not dig enough over the Great Lakes and kept the storm moving NNE as opposed to feeling a more westward tug at our latitude.

I have seen this play before, all eyes on the trough entering the west, lets see how strong it is, also ridging off the se coast. Two scenarios will play out, stronger ridge landfall around Charleston with a late recurve, little wind and rain, or Irene sleeps with the fishes and the outer cape gets some rain and a gust to 58. Alignment not conducive to sne landfall.

thx...I guess I'll just close off the computer for the next 7 days since you have all the answers.
