GFS has over 50 knots sustained at the sfc on the Cape...with 90 knots not too far off the deck. That would be a hellecious storm surge for E MA.

At any rate, I am doubting we see the storm come in from that direction at that latitude...still think something a bit closer to the Euro is more likely and also heading more NNW at landfall.

Yeah I don't totally buy the massive slightshot west, something from a NW heading seems more realistic.

Most of the scenarios are bad if it makes landfall between the Cape or NNJ...the morw NNW heading scenarios are obviously worse for the south coast like Buzzards Bay and Narragansett Bay while the W heading scenarios are worse for the E coast of MA.

The NNW heading scenario into W LI while accelerating initially (before slowing down from capture) is probably the worst wind scenario for SNE.

This run was a stepping stone toward the Euro. I think the euro targest NYC/west LI at 12z and if it does, things become quite a bit more likely for that particular area.

I would agree. With a windfield so massive, JFK or GON wouldn't almost matter as far as landfall goes. However, right near the center...the potential exists for very strong winds if it holds onto tropical characteristics.

Yeah would not be good as a whole. The wind field is huge.

It looks totally warm core to me. Surprisingly, this storm may wind up being quite tropical... more so than a storm getting ripped apart by 50 knot southerly shear.

W T F is this

That GFS solution from 12z is terrifying if you live in the NY Bite water areas... Seriously, that is about as close to a doomy scenario as one can get without it being a Canary Island bifurcation tsunamis scenario.

That stem-winding, house sucker low is moving WNW tugging in a perfect wind trajectory and storm surge,

RIGHT OVER TOP THE ASTRO TIDES!
