I figured if the NHC was going to issue the track forecasts throughout they would maintain hurricane warnings even if from a scientific standpoint, it was solidly extratropical.

That would have made sense. Their logic is flawed regardless: they would have never had to switch headlines in the middle of the storm. NHC is long known for continuity, and could have easily reclassified the storm post-season.

I dunno - I got some red flag beefs with this thing...

-- When was it determined that models were "really good" at handling phasing scenarios ? Moreover, the answer to that question - being obviously not yet - should include consideration presently.

-- Perhaps related to the point above, the fact that we are only 48-60 hours from that real interplay of streams and you have (granted) less reliable runs not tucking this into the MA so abruptly, yet these runs actually make more intuitive sense here... So which is it? Do you go with the more reliable runs that don't look very Meteorologically sound, or do you go with the less reliable cluster that do?

This is an intense scenario over all - it kind of reminds me of a microcosm (timing-wise) of a middle range phased scenario, just packed into a 12-24 hour period; how many times have we seen a given middle range wet dream of a phased big come into nearer terms more sheared.

How are you determining what runs don't look meteorologically sound?? Anomalous, sure, but claiming it doesn't look meteorologically sound just because it's unprecedented is a little narrow-minded

After examining a number of text products for such locations as BLM, FRG, and JFK for the 12z GFS, the lowest figure I found was just under 952 mb. The higher pressure is probably the right one.

Thanks Don, I found the same thing. Upper 1940s make sense given its just offshore at hr 60. I wonder why Maue's maps show 936. Oh well.. probably good 936 would be devastating.
