Not the loop again... It's going to stay there for several days again.

CMC goes through SC and right into N GA this run.

what exactly is the GFS doing? No wonder the NHC called it an outlier

Pretty significant jump north for the CMC

Well considering how far south it was, actually matches up very well with Euro and UK now. The GFS on the other hand reminding us that we need to make American models great again.

No surprise other than the ukmet it’s been the southern outlier

Depending on what the Euro shows, I would narrow the target zone down to Southern South Carolina to OBX
The GFS could be correct . At this point all options are still in play

GFS is being goofy. Probably too far north, and CMC too far south.

UKMET into Myrtle Beach, very close to the CMC/Euro

May be the first time I’ve ever seen a model show a cat 4/5 hurricane move SW off the east coast as the GFS depicts. Smh

Hard camp to beat. I'm willing to bet the Euro holds serve for the most part. As for the GFS I would assume it's error with intensity is playing a major role in its funky loop de whirl

now the GFS headed for the Carolinas for real at 198
3 days of beach erosion in the OBX

Why is that hard to believe ? The steering flow collapses and the trough is way back to the west . It could easily stall and meander for a few days

because a weaker storm is more likely to be steered by the westerlies(the usual flow in the Atlantic)
a stronger storm is more likely to feel a weakness and pull north

But not a Cat 4/5, sure it could loop but it would be much weaker at that point

It does seem this morning that the window for a re curve re opened slightly
Yes it would be much weaker at that point because of many things upwelling being a big one . The point I was making was a stalling/ looping solution isn’t that unreasonable given the lack of steering and the fact the trough is way back out west . It’s clearly shown on this gfs run as the trough finally kicks it east a week from Tuesday .
