Unbelievable the changes in the models from even the 6z run today!  Obviously thing's could change.  But I think the chance of this storm affecting us is just about 0 now!!

I wouldn't say zero, but the chances have very much decreased, certainly still need to keep on eye on it for future track changes.

This is what happens when the SST's and the WAR off the East Coast keeps setting new records.

Kudos to the Euro showing run after run Matthew getting stuck under the ridge near the SE.

Not to go to far off topic in this thread, but couldn't the WAR also hurt us this winter by pushing storms further to our west causing more rain or mixed precipitation events?? The WAR really needs to start loosening its grip a bit, we could have really used the heavy rain from Matthew to break the drought but the chances of that happening now are pretty slim unless there is a drastic change to the forecast over the next 24-36 hours.

Like we saw last winter, the only thing that was able to push back against the WAR with the winter wavelengths was the extreme Arctic blocking in JF.

The WAR ran the table through December with the historic warmth when it teamed up with the Super Nino in the Pacific. The record Kara block building back across

the pole as we went into January saved the winter for us.

Cuba gave Matthew all he could handle, but luckily that's well past him and we have some resemblance of an eye starting to reappear on IR.

At least with the anti-cyclonic loop, we actually have another shot of Matthew being picked up and carried North. Otherwise it looks like game over for anyone North of OBX.

Ehh looks like good consensus on  a way miss to the south

But the system is so massive and the trough orientation can still certainly change. I don't think we're going to get the core up this way like we did with Irene or Floyd, but we can't rule out enhanced heavy rains from the interactions with the approaching front.

That's if the storm gains more lattitude.

Euro won this battle even though it changed a lot. It never showed northeast threat while the other models were hammering the area.

Any word on the next GFS --- several people in other threads (and other forums), still think the approaching trough is not being handled correctly, which in turn is showing the escape and subsequent loop.

Curious to see as we get closer to the trough interaction if things suddenly flip back once (if) they get a better handle on it.

Also as an aside, assuming that the escape and loop scenario pans out as depicted, this system will have been an organized storm for nearly a month....does anyone know the longest "lived" continuous cyclone?

The problem I think is that the models from the past couple of days have incorrectly handled the trough amplification over the Midwest and the strength of the WAR.

Yep. It sits and spins over costal South Carolina. Dumps a huge amount of rain there 

Which seems like a different solution to the OTS and loop scenario.  Is there a map yet for the GFS, what happens post timeframe from the trough (or lack thereof) --- sits and spins for the remainder of the run?

It's still the loop scenario. The trough is to weak to push it out so it just drifts along the coast because of the war. It eventually starts drifting east to southeast back into the ocean

And with nothing to force it up, it kind of meanders around dumping buckets over SC......That would be an epic deluge....

Thanks for the information!
