One thing that we know is that SST are running as much as 5 degrees Celcius above normal off the east coast.

The HWRF is really blowing this up.

The HWRF and GFDL often deepen storms way too much. Remember when it had the crazy runs with Irene, slamming a 930mb storm into Manhattan and Cat 3 winds across the entire area?

The 00z ECMWF brings the storm down to 978mb. It's not really that much different. It's just further southeast and honestly an outlier at this point.

Also, as the trough approaches from the west, SW shear will likely impact Arthur to a greater degree and cap the extent to which it can strengthen. So the idea of it having a well defined eye east of Virginia Beach is almost ludicrous.

Well it depends on Arthur's movement relative to the shear, we've seen storms sometimes get aided by it. It looks like Arthur will ride the Gulf Stream and should still be safely offshore to avoid significant impacts. The closer to shore though the more its indirect impacts will affect us.

define "avoid significant impacts" for the entire metro region including the beaches and coastal waters
