Yes probably....but I'd feel pretty comfortable saying it 99% won't happen. I'll give it a legit 1 in 100 shot...maybe even 1 in 60.

I like those odds. Eventually a freak storm track will occur with the absolute perfect synoptic setup. I would bet against it every time though.

Agree...38 was one of those--wonder what the models would have done with that one if it were today....imagine if it we didnt have it happen in 1938 and it was today instead....would anyone believe the GFS or Euro showing it turning NNW and moving at 50mph???

It actually was a classic synoptic setup in retrospect. Current wisdom is it was moving 35-40.

Link?

Just look at the plots

46 35.2 N 73.1 W 09/21/7AM 115 CAT 3 (H)

47 39.0 N 73.0 W 09/21/2PM 115 CAT 3 (H)

3.8 degrees times 60 miles per degree equals 228 divided by 5 hours equals 45.6mph. Supposedly a 50 mile eye and 100 mile hurricane radius. Close to 50 but not the 70 most sites say, but then again maybe the plot times could mean it was traveling at 30 then accelerated to 70. Hard to say but there is a difference of opinion.

150 years, no storm at that position has ever made direct landfall in SNE.

Yeah, I didn't say that in regards to a landfall of a hurricane but something like the GGEM would be a site for sore eyes at Nauset out on the elbow. Outside shot, but not impossible.

Played 18 at Falcon Otis AFB today, 48 and 44, only second time out golfing this year. Greens were terrible, but that was the beauty of it.

Some decent surf is a good bet. The water temps are quite mild - 76F right now at Menauhant Beach, which is not exactly some small , protected cove. :D

winds and rain, and big seas (Esther, Gerda, Edouard?) would be frustrating, yet a nice end to summer.

LOL you get excited about the oddest things.

The 2006 Jarvinien paper had the forward speed at 70 mph east of the Outer Banks but the storm was decelerating as it was being tugged into the ULL. The forward speed at landfall was 40 mph on Long Island.

Landsea suggests in the reanalysis paper that the forward speed at landfall was about 40 knots.
