GFS is close to the big dog for eastern NC. Looks like a pretty unlikely solution , as it spins off a low from Matthew to the NE and that opens up a hole in the ridge. Being octover the odds of a recurve are higher, but that particular way seems unlikely. Considering we're 7 days out, eastern NC it def' still in play.

Here we go...


HURRICANE MATTHEW TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL142016
120 AM AST FRI SEP 30 2016

Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate that Matthew has rapidly strengthened and that the maximum
sustained winds are now near 100 mph (160 km/h). A special
advisory will be issued by 2 AM AST to update the intensity
forecast.

NHC 2am
This also requires significant changes to the
intensity forecast, which now calls for Matthew to reach major
hurricane status in 24 hours and maintain it through 96 hours. It
is unclear how long the rapid strengthening will continue, and the
revised forecast could be conservative.


There are no changes to the forecast track from the previous
regular advisory.

Models are consistently running a recurve now. It makes the most sense this time of year and it would be hard to get Mathew to run a due N or NNW heading out of the Bahamas unless the setup was absolutely perfect. Its gonna be close and the coast is going to have some big problems with erosion and big surf but I'm starting to believe this is not going to have any direct landfalls in the US.

Which means, given the precision of modeling tropical systems, this one's going into the GOM. ;)

Interesting change on GFS, the low in the NE scoots out quicker allowing Atlantic ridge to build in.    Still may miss but definitely keeps its a little further west and much slower. 

It went from a near Bermuda re-curve to an East Coast hit into Maine...in one run.....quiet a lot going on through 200 hours.

The high on the CMC is hanging out in a better spot through 132 as well. Still looks to miss but atleast the high is there to its north for this run instead of that pesky low.

UK sure does have stout atl ridge at day 6.  Its not escaping east on the UK, assuming it's correct.

Somebody - please refresh my recollection (major point I should know but I'm drawing a blank after lunch on a Friday) -

Does a strong storm or a weak storm react more to dynamics such as approaching fronts or  troughs or ridges north and west of it? Which is more inclined not to be steered by other such conditions?

I expect the track to move significantly as everyone waits for it to make this sharp turn north.

Yep and then its gonna bee a race to see if it can get east enough to miss the US, once it crosses 75W it HAS to go east at some point to miss the US.... the GFS and CMC both have that sharp east turn south of Cape Fear a good ways off shore....still I wont feel like its gonna miss until it actually starts that east turn lol....assuming the GFS/CMC track is more or less right of course

Euro carries the them of scooting out the low up in the NE and building in the atl ridge, slow crawling through the Bahamas.  Looks similar to the UK through day 6.

Yeah thats a fairly significant change versus the 00Z run, seems likely to push it closer and further up the coast before turning it now.....its gonna be a long 7 days

yep atl ridge stronger going to end up further west than 0z as a result. not a good trend for the bahamas.

Yep, I think someone said it above, until it turns north and we know how strong the ridge in the atlantic will be.  Kind of pointless looking at anything past days 3-4 on the models.  Euro just rakes the Bahama's for several days.
