The euro is very odd as well.

Yep both had kinda similar ideas..... obviously the fate of Maria largely lies in Jose and what he does.....if Jose doesnt pull her out I think she is a very real threat to SC/NC...it would be nuts if TX/FL/NC all end up with a Cat 3 or higher hit in the same year....heck it would almost be within 30 days of each other. 

Still we got a long ways to go with Maria, first up will the the Leewards and poor Puerto Rico looks like it might finally be out of luck....

I have seen some nutty model runs but the 18Z GFS run is going for king of nutty runs this go around....what it does from 240 to 264 is the most WTF thing I have seen on a model in forever....

I agree. That's beyond a WTF run. I still think our luck continues here in SE NC and we miss this one as well.

Going to be interesting to see what happens with the 0z run. Do they keep jose around long to disrupt the pattern and allow Maria an out or does he get caught up in the westerlies like the NHC is suggesting still?

Either way they have some concerning wording on their 11pm disco in regards to her potential strength. They have her going over PR as a 125mph cane but leave room open for her to be "significantly stronger" than forecast.

Euro with ULL in deep south and Jose actually fizzles out off the VA/NC line day 7-8 and the remnants end up floating over NC/VA...scary landfall with Maria.  Trough in west has been trending deeper too.  EPS mean mostly agrees...

That ULL low should pull Maria into the SE coast, like Irma , if the set up is like the euro above,?

Assuming Jose doesn't end up around Bermuda like yesterdays 12z Euro run.  The ridging being modeled over Bermuda isn't that strong so it could still escape, bulk of the members still showing miss too.

this link is a cool read.  Shows percent chance of landfall based on storms crossing through boxes on a map.  Breaks down FL and NC. 

 

Maria's track isn't good news for the east coast especially NC.  It's crazy that this far out you can still say that Maria has a good shot at hitting us.

At this point a NC hit or OTS seems most likely though that can change....still until the models get a handle on how Jose plays out Maria will be a ?.....the further Jose goes east the better chances Maria hit the US...

Plane found a 986mb pressure and surface winds of 73 mph on the first pass, the ATL isnt messing around this year, probably will have Hurricane Maria at 5 with the current flare up coinciding with the plane being out there.
