heh, Joe Bastardi's son's forecast from a while back (posted on his twitter):

Winner. Should we call him the lil' big dog?

like father like son? now he'll only have to bust on the next 499 that he calls east coast hits.

Still giggle anytime I see Cockburn Town on a map.

It's what you get after visiting Intercourse, PA

I can't get over all the folks saying "no landfall" as if they are so certain this early. Granted it's still possible...but to lock in now is pure weenism. I need to find some good discussion as to why folks think it if there is a legit reason for that forecast.

I said recently...Weed Trimmer is NOT a cane chaser. He thinks he is...but he hasn't had anything to show for it.

Who's ready to go out on a climo-bucking limb and predict a borderline Cat 4 US landfall?

Definitely not. The "bombing" shown on the models is most likely expansion of the windfield prior to landfall, not intensification of the storm itself. Such a windfield expansion would likely be the result of dry air entrainment from the N. American continent.

This probably has as good a chance as anything in the SE US but something will probably screw it up like a poorly timed ERC.

Idk,.. I agree, she has the best chance. I storms always seem to...

However, I think she's ramped up enough early that there is a possibility that she can do her ERC (probably 2, from now until then) in time to be an absolute monster. Granted, this is if she stays in the Gulf Stream 30c+ bath water temps.

There is pretty much nothing stopping her in the next 48-72 hours. Maybe as she comes into land she may drop down to high-end cat 3... but I just don't see anything stopping her. Everything seems favorable.

Yeah I could definitely see this intensifying to a Cat 4 in the next couple days. Just not landfall at that intensity. At least without favorable midlatitude influences, and none are being progged.

There's nothing particularly unfavorable that's being shown though...right?
