Impressive increase in FL winds in the southeast quad compared to the last pass. It looks like winds are beginning to respond upward.

With the recent trends, places like Chatham and Nantucket look to have a reasonable chance of getting Tropical Storm conditions. Notice I said CHANCE. Kind of sucks that miss this because I'll be in Hawaii.. Although I can't complain too much about that! What is the surf like on the Florida and Georgia coast right now?

Its hard to get meaningful winds to the west of the center in a strong TS/Cat1 storm on Cape Cod especially early in the season. Ocean is pretty chilly.  Rain will be the story, not wind.  Maybe a few gusts in the 40's but no big deal, as long as the center stays east of Nantucket.

They  have been going all day. You only see them on the visible when the sun angle is low in the morning and evening. IR is better for spotting those.

recon fixes confirm that movement as well not heading directly north, in the larger scale that could have huge implications down the road.

As a matter of fact, recon fixes show that it's moving due north...from both aircrafts.

yeah and when you look at the map of the last 3 fixes you can better see that it is not going directly north

Do you realize that 356° is almost due north, just missed the 360° heading by like 10 miles or less, well within the error bar of vortex fixes. Also, the NOAA Orion fixes are slightly east of north at about 4°...which makes it a wash.

Do you think this thing will undergo RI during the next 24 hours? If this does happen, will the strength affect the track?
