Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

Despite the weaker trend in the models the shift to the east along with the storm size (which is being depicted as large) means we still might get somewhat significant impacts here.
 
Canadian is much slower than its 12z run and the GFS

At 75 hours it’s still over water whereas the 12z was over Atlanta by then
 
The system still has about 36 hours to traverse the simmering NW Caribbean Sea. I have difficulty believing we don't see substantial intensification before it hits the GOM. That part of the basin is notorious for RI.
 
Fujiwhara with the cut off and Helene. How much Helene influences the cut off to go west determines where Helene goes between the cutoff and the ridge to her east.
