One thing that does look likely is that the environment looks conducive for several days for strengthening. This might hit strong Cat 4 or 5 at some point when it's close to the Bahamas or Lesser Antilles.

At midlatitudes I would be very cautious of applying the pressure rule to wind speed, especially with expanding TCs.  Wasn't Sandy either 940mb or sub940mb off the S NJ coast?  Cat 5's are extremely rare, but I could see a Cat 4 in that area.

Sandy also never got above a Cat 3 if we're looking at wind speeds.
