2023 - tracking the tropics

I didn't read the 5pm NHC disc until now, but they mention the turn north, and the gfs being much much faster than the Euro (or GGEM for that matter)

Satellite and aircraft fixes show that Lee is moving west- 
northwestward at about 9 kt. There has been no change to the track 
forecast philosophy.  A mid-level ridge to the north of Lee is 
foreast to shift west-southwestward during the next few days, 
causing Lee's forward speed to slow considerably through early next 
week.  By midweek, a mid-latitude trough moving across the Great 
Lakes region and into the eastern United States is expected to 
weaken the ridge and allow Lee to turn north-northwestward and 
northward on days 4 and 5.  There is still a significant amount of 
spread in the deterministic guidance and global model ensembles as 
to exactly when and where the northward turn takes place.  In fact, 
the GFS and ECMWF models are about 275 n mi apart at day 5, 
primarily due to along-track spread related to how fast Lee begins 
moving northward.  The NHC track forecast continues to lie near the 
latest consensus aids, and the new track is very similar to the 
previous forecast.

Any hits are. Just the idea that it’s possible is enough. 

Lurking since winter, this one drawing me out...

I'm loving the suspense, but I share a bit of nervousness. Funny how being a new homeowner with toddler+baby in the house changes perspective on things... years ago I'd be debating whether I drive to Buzzards Bay or Cape.

My gut atm says ~5% SNE / 40% Maine/Canada / 55% OTS. But I could see guidance make an abrupt jump like the 12z Euro, contingent on slower timing and trough interaction... sort of reflected in the 2 GEFS clusters at 18z.

Congrats and yes that’s my take. I get the meteorological handjob some are begging for but my livelihood takes precedent. I like power and my roof in tact.

Thankfully It would take a miracle to get your roof damaged in west CT on this one . EMass beggars have a punchers chance

There remains a 
significant amount of spread in both the deterministic and ensemble 
guidance on when this turn occurs, and then how quickly Lee 
accelerates northward. For now the NHC track forecast remains 
closest to the consensus aids, which have slowed a bit from the 
prior cycle, and the latest track forecast is a bit slower but near 
the same trajectory as the prior advisory.
