OPC Update.

HE 00Z/06Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF BOTH 
TRENDED SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER WITH HERMINE SAT THROUGH SUN 
NIGHT WHEN IT IS FORECAST TO BECOME POST-TROPICAL. THESE MODELS 
ALSO INDICATE THAT HERMINE COULD AGAIN ACQUIRE TROPICAL 
CHARACTERISTICS AT THAT TIME. THIS SIGNIFICANT DEEPENING IS NOT 
UNREASONABLE AS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE THE 
GULF STREAM WHERE SST ANOMALIES ARE ON THE ORDER OF +3 TO +5 C 
AND WITH THE DEVELOPING BAROCLINICITY OVER THE SW SEMICIRCLE OF 
SYSTEM. SO HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT WINDS MAY BE STRONGER THAN 
CURRENTLY FORECAST AND WILL MONITOR TODAYS MODEL TREND. THE 
00Z/06Z WAVEWATCH III AND 00Z ECMWF WAM ARE BOTH WELL INITIALIZD 
WITH OFFSHORE/COASTAL WAVE HEIGHTS THIS MORNING. 
.EXTRATROPICAL STORM SURGE GUIDANCE...WITH ALL OF THE 00Z MODELS 
FCSTG HERMINE TO SLOW AND NEARLY STALL OFF THE NRN MID ATLC AND 
SRN NEW ENGLAND COASTS SUN INTO TUE...THERE IS A HIGH LIKLIHOOD 
THAT A SIGNIFICANT SURGE EVENT WILL DEVELOP. WULD CONT TO FAVOR 
THE HIGHER SURGE VALUES FCST BY THE 00Z ESTOFS VS THE 00Z ETSS 
THEN.

We are expecting a January blizzard type coastal flood event at the shore.  Ocean city and those areas were obviously hit much harder than Monmouth County.   I must say after speaking with a lot of officials all morning the consensus is they're very concerned about the warm water.  We've been harping on that most of the month of August how rediculously warm the ocean has been.  There is still room for issuing evacuations. Right now we are urging tourists to goto their vacationing towns local website and sign up for emergency alerts and watch local media (hopefully news 12). 

Thats all you can really do until we get a better handle on what will happen.

I'm fascinated by how this is going to look like on radar, while over the atlantic...going from Tropical, to Post-Tropical , back to Tropical.. 

will the radar blossom near the center , and stay near the center...or be spread out again.  should be fun to watch.  The deepening and overall watching whats going on at different levels of the atmosphere.
