Euro and Ukmet runs from last night were def well west of the NHC's cone. The EPS had a notable shift west as well, but the mean still indicates a graze with minimal TS impacts for even eastern LI and SE MA. 

I was originally thinking the NHC would have already adjusted their cone to the west based on last night's runs but I think they were right to stay put for now based on the number of GEFS and EPS members that are currently within their forecast cone.

Right now more caution is warranted than this time yesterday, but forecasting wise, per the NHC it's still a hold/ "wait and see".

I think they are assuming an overcorrection right now.  I think the closest this gets is reaching 41N/71W then turning.  That's close enough NYC and LI probably get 25-35mph winds and a rainy day.  Move that 50-60 miles east though and it's mostly a miss.  I think they're also keeping this too strong.  I guess this may be a 60mph system in 72 hours but if it is you're probably talking about a 15 mile area on the east side

Looks like the Euro may turn out to be correct on the loop back west as the EPS mean and the GFS have it now. This seems plausible with such strong blocking in place. While the storm will weaken greatly coming back over the cooler waters, it may have some influence on the eventual track of Maria.

Regarding the cooler waters, we really need to see how this loop plays out. As it is now, that loop occurs awfully close to the Gulf Stream. Verbatim, Jose quickly weakens, I agree. But should the loop happen 50-100 miles further south, he can potentially maintain strength as a TS or minimal Hurricane, for a while longer. And then we have to see where he's headed next....

I wouldn't even guess right now how Jose may impact Maria.  It sure does seem though the more east it hooks and especially the more south of a latitude it hooks the more likely it would stay strong enough to boot Maria out.  If it comes way more west or north and or goes into loops it'll likely crap out enough to not be a big influence and Maria may head into the US

Spot on, everyone seems to be discounting how fast this will fall apart once it hits the 70 degree water beyond the gulf stream.  Any winds of note will be confined to it's ese side

There will be plenty of upwelling in either case so a further south loop may be more significant for what it does to the ridge ahead of Maria. Very complex forecast.

I agree. Upwelling is an issue.

Seperately, I'm not an expert on ocean physics by any stretch, but I wonder if upwelling is less impactful immediately near/over the Gulf Stream, as surface volume replacement could be more horizontal than vertical (coming from below surface depths)...Anyway just a thought, and a moot question for now...

Not sure if it can loop that far south just yet. It would have to get back below 38N to reach the Gulf Stream again.

Yea neither am I. I'm just raising it as a possibility. The weak steering currents, and the trend for guidance to slow him further over time has caused me to consider such an outcome.

I don't think there's been enough emphasis placed on the synoptic scale gradient wind; not the wind being generated by Jose himself. All guidance is showing robust high pressure from Nova Scotia to Southern Quebec around 1020 mb. If Jose makes a close pass, it's likely going to be quite (surprisingly) windy throughout coastal New England and the Northern Mid Atlantic. Gusts could exceed 40 mph throughout a large area of SNE, even away from the coast per the 0z Euro. Low end to Moderate TS conditions are being shown on the 0z Euro in Coastal NJ, eastern LI and SE MA/islands. This isn't unrealistic given the wall of HP to our north/northeast. So despite a weakening Jose, and a path ots, the blocking in place indicates we have much more than just Jose to consider while trying to determine wind related impacts...

The GFS definitely shifted west

It's not a miss for NYC

Seriously guys..... how about we show some maps to portray that outcome of a model run instead of these one liners!!! It really would make it a whole lot easier for everyone... thanks

I don't know why my post got deleted earlier I mentioned that the GFS is a miss for NYC and west and I don't agree with it I think the precipitation field expands as this tropical cyclone will become extra tropical by the time it reaches our latitude. Regardless the moderator 3 posted me for no reason here I don't get the hate. I get along with everybody and I don't post that much unless we have an impending snowstorm. Take a look at today's 12z GFS still plenty of wind though

The 12z Euro is projecting that the storm will be taking on hybrid characteristics while it approaches us. That means that it is also taking energy from baroclinic forces. The other models are not seeing this happen to the degree that the Euro is. This could result in greater impacts with higher winds. The 12z Euro is projecting wind gusts at the surface (10m) to be 40 - 60 MPH in gusts Tuesday night and Wednesday morning on the south shore beaches and across eastern LI (EuroWx). That would argue for a Tropical storm watch. I will add the Euro is projecting the storm to be a full fledged hurricane Tuesday evening centered 200 miles to the east of Ocean City, MD with winds gusting to 92 MPH at 10m. This would make for some tremendous seas and serious coastal flooding.
