918 is still a Category 5. This would be a complete disaster. I hope it does not happen.

On this specific run, it seems to landfall as a cat 2 or high-end cat 1, coming towards the coast as a cat 3? Surface pressure's are likely misleading. Regardless, solution would be pretty bad!

If you're going to focus on 200 hrs out at a landfall point, at least focus on trend of location and NOT intensity.

Yeah the west trend is pretty obvious by this time tomorrow it will be a GA/SC border landfall lol.....the bad news is the trend today has been away from a OTS solution and more towards a eventual landfall....luckily we have 10 days to go and much will hopefully change....this isnt something anyone on the EC should want to deal with there is no reason to expect this thing to be some ragged Cat 2 coming up the coast, all models indicate a large well formed monster Cat 3/4 at least.

Can it regenerate somewhat in the Great Lakes? Never seen a storm do that before. Odd solution.

Perhaps, in the worst case scenario the weakening system could maintain it's pressure rather temporarily while lying over the warm water, I doubt it would ever strengthen though. My knowledge though is of course greatly limited. This almost assuredly won't happen anyway.
