How's the 18z GFS looking? Any different?

maybe a bit stronger through 96 hours than previous runs

still has it just barely north of Leeward Islands on Wednesday

ETA: so essentially the same though midday Wednesday as we've been seeing over the last day or so

just noticing... it is a touch further south than it was at this time yesterday

ETA: not a lot... but enough to make a difference in the long haul

ETA2: the models... not the storm at this moment

Wherever it hits, it's damn sure going to be a monster

No way this really becomes an 878 storm

These intensity models suck more than the guidance models do

If I lived between Savanah and NYC I'd be making serious plans to be elsewhere a week from now

I have a really bad feeling about this one. I'm really hoping it just turns back out to sea.

That is a pretty safe bet

We can say that, as of now, the models are showing an environment favorable for strengthening as the storm approaches.

878 is plausable with the warmer than normal oceans, lack of shear, and expected shape and dynamics of the storm riding between a big high and a strong trough.

That being said the pressure is almost absurd for the Atlantic. I'd take it as saying an incredibly powerful hurricane at that point is likely but past that, expecting such a deep storm would be a mistake.

After dismissing the 50+ inch rain forecasts as absurd for Texas, I'm not going to discount anything.
