Probably not a huge deal but seeing all these models initialize a little N/NE of the actual center certainly does make one think LI might be square in the cross hairs on this one.Nearly every model shows a landfalling storm somewhere between Martha's Vineyard and the western tip of Long Island

Cold water in late August ? That's hard to believe. Isn't water almost at its warmest now ?I wouldn't completely buy into the cold water if it's transitioning to post tropical it can strengthen that way too
Now I do agree it'll probably be slowly weakening near the coast but I don't think you'll see it just fall apart
And honestly the water is probably gonna be a bigger problem than the wind
And the loop inland, very problematic track right thereGeez that icon run with the last second NW bend and landfall around nyc
Impressive expansion to the north over the past few hoursAnd the loop inland, very problematic track right there
GFS drives it fairly far inland too, not as far west as ICON but seems less and less likely this stays safely otsImpressive expansion to the north over the past few hours
Yeah it seems like a case of how far west and how much interaction between upper low and Henri at this point.GFS drives it fairly far inland too, not as far west as ICON but seems less and less likely this stays safely ots
edit: GFS was a decent shift west
And fwiw, the long range HRRR was hooking hard left at the end of it's run very ICON likeYeah it seems like a case of how far west and how much interaction between upper low and Henri at this point.
