That member must see the well known Nova Scotia Bermuda ridge to shove Henri that far west

The trend is our friend.

In all honesty - that member is pretty strong even once it gets into the metro area. It brings the center almost over MBY. Would be an ugly setup for the western side of the bay.

NOAA Gulfstream IV 
missions and special weather balloon soundings have been scheduled, 
and it is hoped that this additional data will help the models 
handle the evolving steering pattern.  Given the uncertainty in the 
longer range track forecasts, users should be prepared for 
additional adjustments to the NHC track forecast in future forecast 
cycles. 

Does someone know what model cycle will have the new data?

It would be a cycle or two after the mission is completed. I believe special soundings can be incorporated immediately.

@WxWatcher007 what in the almighty weirdness of total nonsense was this nonsense in the tropical thread...

This is MDL - Main Development Low ::: Mason Dixon Line is similar but call it this way - no problemo...

It is a line that tells how far a TC needs to go to potentially affect Central NJ works for Nor'Easters as well

Probably doesn’t need to be said, but a tropical system that stays strong until New England has to be booking it (1938) or strongly interact with a trough (Sandy).  Both the Euro and GFS slow the system upon approach.  

The famous and destrcutive Hurricane of 1938 was moving at an incredible 47 mph. Wow ! 

 

On September 21, 1938, one of the most destructive and powerful hurricanes in recorded history struck Long Island and Southern New England. The storm developed near the Cape Verde Islands on September 9, tracking across the Atlantic and up the Eastern Seaboard. The storm hit Long Island and Southern Connecticut on September 21, moving at a forward speed of 47 mph!

Yeah, there's a tradeoff. Wind for rain and coastal flooding depending on the heading. We actually had a significant flash flood event this morning here due to Fred. Shades of 1955.

How was the speed determined before the satellite era?  I figure it was by charting observations days or weeks after the storm.

Without researching it in depth I would think that ship reports came into play.
