There is something to say with storms that RI as they drift south begin to transition north they rapidly expand their outflow. Katrina and Sandy are examples of the worst case scenario. Interactions with the trough are very important we may have a very broad cat 3 with tons of water coming in vs a very compact storm.

Yes indeed. It was also noted by the craft that had communication problems tonight investigating Joaquin that there was a lot of lightning in the core I believe. I've noticed with some hurricanes and trough interactions how upper diffluence can sometimes lead to a TC rapidly intensifying (Charley, Opal, Sandy, Hugo to some extent also).

Also the broadening wind field. These trees won't be able to handle it with all this preconditioned saturated ground feom the ULL first and the already heavy rains recently. This scenario technically sucks for the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

My biggest complaint so far with this storm is who or how in God's name someone penciled this name in on paper. I mean really how bout jody, james, jack something the avg redneck can pronounce.

Well take that up to the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) as they are responsible for the names of storms. Since ATL tropical cyclones affect non-English speaking countries as well, a mix of Spanish, English and French namea are used.

You guys with slower model data need to let the run play out. It gets captured at hr 78 and has no choice but to left hook right into the coast.

But it is a clear trend toward what the Euro has been saying compared to what the GFS was depicting, and there's still another day or so left for it to trend in either direction.
