That’s one way to look at it. The other is to look at all those right of mean tracks.

Lots of mediocre water temps for tropical with that EPS track due north at 67 W.  Misses out on the nice warm temps of the east coast of the US and the Gulf Stream until it hits 38 N... probably weakens more than modeled as it goes over those cooler temps.

The first pings of LEE swell are being picked up from bouys in the S and E New England waters. From Jeffreys ledge bouy (East of NH) to Nantucket bouy to Block island bouy . 13-14 second period from the SE currently couple foot swell . These will build all week . I find it cool how the ocean can pick up the energy from distant lee even some 1800 miles away .

that is super interesting! I  was just looking at https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41001 East Hatteras buoy seeing first swells here, expecting larger surf picking up tomorrow from block island to nantucket

00z GFS has winds gusting at least +55mph out of the north throughout Cape Cod for over 24 hours. At it's peak gusting 75-90mph for +12 hours. Trying to find a trustworthy archive for wind data, but I would have to believe these would be the strongest prolonged sustained winds experienced since Bob in 1991. 

Toss in one of our wettest summers on record (using Boston data as proxy), full foliage, and a lack of meaningful pruning by mother nature in +30 years, and this would be a borderline disastrous outcome for north facing coastlines from Boston points south, and all of Cape Cod.

Increasing support for the trough interaction tugging this northwest

Actually very good consensus between 0z Euro and GFS... tracks 50-100 miles off outer Cape, landfall in Bay of Fundy

Looks like maybe 1 member of 0z GEFS is OTS, the rest landfall mostly in Maine or Canada

Actually expected more media hype about this by now

0z Euro:
