I think an 85mph hurricane is doable.

18z 3kNAM doesn’t have much change from 12z. Comes in around Topsail Beach and Surf City at 985mb and goes inland NW from there

Biggest wind output for mby yet and I'm in brjnswick and don't even have a TS watch or warning for me

18Z GFS 30 miles west of the 12Z and is 4 mb lower at 990 stronger still east over western Pamlico sound
I imagine that if follows the stronger models with development, you might see the NHC expand the watch on to the NC/SC border

Also would not be surprised to see hurricane watches or even warnings if the models continue to hint at this being in the 980-990 range.

The track the GFS takes would push alot of water up the chesapeake bay. Goes right up just west of the bay

Big high to the north and low to the south at 150

New low level swirl closer to the convection on the visible as the sun sets around 75.3 or so

Honestly, PTC 16 looks like an El Nino-type Winter Storm than Tropical System. There's even split-flow pattern over the CONUS. Essentially, a strong Subtropical Jet from the West Pacific is piling upper level energy over the tropically-enhanced area vorticity that's cutting off north of the Bahamas. Strengthening is wholly baroclonic. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=atl&product=wv_mid
Interestingly, the subtropical punch over Southern Florida looks much stronger than the models advertised. There were Gusts of 50-70MPH that reached the surface, and a vortex that almost reached the ground in Pembroke Pines, FL. You can see this area on the WV Imagery above. Very Hot and Humid Environment was disturbed.

All the cane models at 18Z are MHX north to around Belhaven in the mid 980's. This would be a big surge event for the upper parts of the Pam....luckily forward speed will mitigate it some.

This is a big spread out extratropical low so the pressure to wind relation may not be typical to that of a tropical system. I'm thinking mid to upper level TS strength. Hoping to set a new wind record on my PWS ?
