18Z GFS shows tropical storm and or hurricane conditions east and southeast of the metro July 4th - going to be a complete washout July 4th the closer you are to the beaches. Some beaches may be closed  and boaters will be given a warning to not navigate the coastal waters July 4th -  so this is a high impact event because of the day of the year it is happening - also this is probably the first time in recorded history this has happened along the mid atlantic coast on july 4th IF THIS SCENARIO VERIFIES

It does have that look like it might really take off, which could cause some slight changes in the track though not much to really cause huge concern. The biggest concern is really for the Carolina coastline where they might be dealing with a stronger storm than forecast thus causing much more problems for them. A stronger storm will also elevate the surf and rip current risk even further, which is what we'll feel the most. 

 

Also hidden danger is that the weekend might look beautiful but the waters could be very dangerous and given it's the 4th of July weekend that's not a good combination.

May 29-30 1908 had a minimal TS pass very close to Montauk point. It passed very near Cape Hatteras on May 29th, 1908. It then weakened further passing very close to Montauk Point and then inland over eastern New England as a minimal tropical storm.  Although not a hit on July 4th it was still very early in the season. And at this point I think Arthur has little to no impact on the area save for MAYBE points east of Shirley area on the south shore.

so little to no impact at the beaches and the waters south of LI and east of NJ meaning swimming will be allowed and no warnings for boaters ? is that what you are saying ?

18z gfs is def a bit east of it 12z run…hopefully the euro is correct and this gets the boot….we need drier and east trend 

 

Only extreme eastern LI is even sniffing NHC cone of error and given how much they have progressed recently with this I would bet on the cone. Also, in true tropical spirit if there is any actual tropical structure at that juncture ……. only a few fish will blow around a bit.

I like the way you think my man…..hopefully this is what happens….the only people that want rain on the 4th of july is hermits and people that don't socialize

for your info the Euro track was not used by NHC - they used the GFS

There are many people that work and the 4th is one of their few holidays

I think the areas that will have the highest impact are the beaches and coastal waters - the people having their july 4th barbecues will not have a problem later in the day on the 4th and there still is a good chance away from the immediate coast that the rain should end by friday evening

Small craft advisories maybe w possible Rip current issues but people will still be boating and swimming if the sun is peeking out.

I think the front comes through in time to push whatever is left of Arthur far enough offshore so any impacts will be minor. It's a stretch to feel that it holds enough strength and tracks far enough west to have any other type of impact. Jmo

My guess right now is it goes 150-200 miles SE of Montauk and it spares any significant impact from the storm itself to the Northeast outside of maybe outer Cape Cod and the Islands. The front will likely flare up and be good for 1-3" of rain across much of the area-a decent rain event but nothing to write home about. The coast will have a couple of days of high surf and a cloudy/rainy Thursday night/Friday morning with gustier than average winds (maybe more way out in eastern Suffolk). Hopefully Friday PM starts to clear out in order to salvage July 4th festivities. Tropical systems often clear out very quickly behind them so that's cause for optimism. 

 

I think that for Arthur to have a shot at impacting much more near the coast it either has to speed up quickly and/or intensify very quickly so that the ridge is pumped enough to slow down the trough, or the system can outrun the trough. Much more likely, the trough will catch up in time to speed this out to sea, at least far enough to avoid significant impacts beyond a rainy Thursday night.

 Its not an eyewall. It might look that way. but its not. a bit of dry air is getting in causing it.

 

Funny because the NHC disagrees with you

TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR DISCUSSION NUMBER 5

NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012014

1100 PM EDT TUE JUL 01 2014

Data from the Melbourne WSR-88D radar indicates that Arthur has a

complex structure this evening. A mid-level cyclonic circulation

accompanied by a possible eye feature is clearly evident near 27.8N

78.8W. However, the motions of the light showers/low clouds seen in

the radar data suggest that the low-level center is about 25-30 n mi

west of the mid-level center. Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane

Hunter aircraft are scheduled to investigate Arthur early Wednesday

morning to see if the center has re-formed to the east. Pending the

arrival of the aircraft, the initial intensity remains 45 kt.

Anyone else notice an eye like feature on the latest radar loop of Arthur

Seems to be associated with the mid level circulation. Doing it's best to take over and stack vertically a new LLC under it. Def organizing, but not as impressive as it looks.
