So in addition to it strengthening now due to the gulf stream, it's expected to keep strengthening until landfall due to the baroclinic processes. So I'd say 930s is definitely possible and the surge could be much higher than forecast, the gusts right now are approaching 40 mph, very windy.

thats what im saying, the thing is though she didn't even fully cross the gulf stream yet and still has those really warm waters and little to no shear.....along with baroclinic processes.......I'm going to throw a wrench in and say that a 100MPH cat 2 has a decent chance at happening

What do you guys think about the winds for here, could this mean they could be even stronger?

Good possibility.

Anthony: Can you please post about the status of your home in Sheepshead Bay every 3 hours for so with respect with surge since I live only 2 blocks north of you? Thanks. Hope you stay safe.

That's if my power doesn't go out.

Good luck down there. That surge of SE winds tonight could have widespread 80-90+ gusts.

Thanks Scott. Be careful up there also.
