I'm not sure it's that so much as the guidance insisting on maintaining a strongly warm core system even during baroclinic interaction.

Although, yes, as you mentioned it's quite possible the storm does try to resist at least absorption initially.

That's true. That's probably more likely their thinking. In any case, I think it's become more likely that this does not become an hybrid extratropical beast necessarily ... and is mostly just a tropical beast instead ;)

there's some short wave ridging ahead of the 96 hour TV s/w that pushing it ENE at that interval

Just continuing on my line of thinking, the interaction of the two strong cyclonic PV anomalies creates an area of divergence between them creating anticyclonic PV ... which may be the stronger anticyclonic PV and s/w ridging we are seeing develop upstream of Sandy

Comparing the differences starting around 72 hours from the 00z op GFS at 500mb to the 84 hour 12z op Euro you can see a totally different evolution in the N Atlantic.

The Euro immediately wants to go omega block with ridging staying strong on backside of big N Atl low and forcing Sandy to cut off.
