Euro also trying to get something going. Strong enough high to the north.

I was going thru some hurricane history and found this. Based on what this says it created alot of havoc for a cane with a highest gust on land of 72 mph

AUG 1944

Hurricane Three[edit]​

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
DurationJuly 30 – August 4
Peak intensity80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min); 985 mbar (hPa)
A tropical wave organized into a tropical storm about 135 mi (217 km) east of Cockburn Town in the Turks and Caicos Islands around 12:00 UTC on July 30.[6] The newly formed system intensified on a west-northwest course parallel to the Bahamas, attaining hurricane strength by 00:00 UTC on August 1. From there, it curved toward the north before making landfall on Oak Island, North Carolina, with peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) at 23:00 UTC. The system weakened as it progressed through the Mid-Atlantic and into the northwestern Atlantic, and it was last considered a tropical depression around 06:00 UTC on August 4 about 105 mi (169 km) east of Nantucket.[2]

Despite the storm's small size, it produced wind gusts of 72 mph (116 km/h) in Wilmington, North Carolina, where the hurricane unroofed many houses, felled communication lines, shattered glass windows, and uprooted hundreds of trees. Throughout Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, an unusually high tide—combined with waves perhaps as large as 30 ft (9.1 m)—demolished several cottages and homes, or otherwise swept the structures off their foundations. The former city suffered a disastrous hit as its boardwalk was destroyed, while in Wrightsville Beach, local police estimated that the water reached 18 ft (5.5 m) by its city hall. Two fishing piers were destroyed in each city.[10] Crops sustained catastrophic loss throughout coastal beach counties. Rainfall was moderate, reaching 3–5 in (76–127 mm) across eastern North Carolina, with a maximum storm-total amount of 7.7 in (200 mm) in Cheltenham, Maryland.[11] Damage reached $2 million. As the cyclone exited into the Atlantic, it produced a gust of 38 mph (61 km/h) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Though no fatalities occurred along the storm's path due to mass evacuations,[6] there were a few people who suffered serious injuries.[10]

GFS has switched up some and takes the system next week west into FL, the CMC has it closed off now and moves it north over eastern NC, the Euro and the Ukie both seem to try to do something and have a piece of the very large gyre break off and head north over the OBX but never closes anything off. Its weak sauce in any case....

Still there have been a few storms that formed like this that have been surprises....of course there was Diana which frankly NC got very lucky on, I think it was Gaston in the early 2000's that made it to a cane right as it came into SC then had a nasty little core all the way up to VA over central SC and NC, it literally formed right offshore. Hurricane Arthur was another one...so theses can sometimes form and be a issue but all signs point to this not being one of those cases
 
The next big thing out in the MDR after Nigel goes major on Euro and GFS, the GFS has it stopping and turning ENE way out north of the eastern Lesser's. So the parade of massive canes continue.....and they continue to all show fish tracks....

It was Gaston in 2004 that developed and made landfall as a hurricane coming ashore. Actually even intensified just after landfall as an eye appeared on IR imagery after landfall briefly.

Not a bad look to spin something to offshore late this week but there's a huge list of possibilities of what could happen with it

Set up is ok but even with a high blocking it doesnt sit long enough over warm water.
