Yeah but that is still all relative.....its above normal off NE but still colder than needed to support a tropical system...
 
Recon going to investigate Henri tomorrow.

Interesting to note the Hurricane models
HMON 12z follows suit in hitting Long Island .. but the storm is significantly weak
HWRF 12z also follows with a Long Island hit but definitely stronger but significantly weakening upon arrival

I think upper level dynamics will give Henri an extra kick if the GFS solution comes to fruition. 200Mb charts shows a negatively tilted trough through the Carolinas. Makes for an interesting setup.
 
I wouldn’t rule out the chance it hits the OBX at the rate we are going.
 
...HENRI ALMOST A HURRICANE...
...INTERESTS IN THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. SHOULD MONITOR ITS PROGRESS...


SUMMARY OF 500 PM AST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...29.9N 67.6W
ABOUT 235 MI...375 KM SW OF BERMUDA
ABOUT 790 MI...1275 KM S OF NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 265 DEGREES AT 9 MPH...15 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...995 MB...29.39 INCHES

The models continue their westward
shift, and the NHC track forecast has again been adjusted in that
direction and no longer shows a northeastward motion out to sea. In
particular, the westward adjustment at day 5 was a sizable 150
miles, and even with this shift the NHC forecast is still a little
to the east of some of the consensus aids.
NOAA Gulfstream IV
missions and special weather balloon soundings have been scheduled,
and it is hoped that this additional data will help the models
handle the evolving steering pattern. Given the uncertainty in the
longer range track forecast, users should be prepared for additional
adjustments to the NHC track prediction in future forecast cycles.
 
Like that they are going to be doing special balloon launches and starting the GIV missions. This will be the most interesting time for any major shifts in the models.
 
Maybe the shear tonight will help Henri weaken some to stop these west trends and instead pull north out to sea. Yay
 
NHC track actually didn't shift more west and may have actually gone a hair east at the end but again until we get recon data I wouldn't etch anything in stone yetAL082021_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind.png

The disco sounded fun. Sat estimates are between 55kt and 80kts. That's a helluva a spread and then later they say eventual track will be based on early intensity but we have no plane data to say what it's at right now.
 
0Z UKMET: more ominous run for CT/RI/inland MA as it goes NNW to near RI/CT border and then continued NNW into west central MA

And here is a 0Z UKMET image: Henri is then moving NNW as it just misses the far eastern tip of Long Island

Shear really taking a toll on Henri overnight which should ensure well off the OBX. Also no model or ensemble member even brushes OBX now but the threat for NY to NE is very real, again as noted by eps strength dependent

Yeah unless the models miss the trough digging as deep as they have it then this stays well offshore OBX

Yep no doubt and no way all models are off that much, it is interesting though that it is a little more south than they estimated and continues to move s of due west, I guess any deviation closer to the coast initially becomes more problematic in NE later

The GMI and ASCAT data revealed that the center is slightly farther
south than previously estimated, and Henri has been moving south of
due west
 
This could be a big problem for the NE and now only about 3 days out. HWRF has it diving inland and just kind of spinning out over land.

We will never hear the end of it.....Sandy

Yeah wish they been flying some GIV missions sooner.
