Very humid here today. Currently 82/79 but only .20" so far today.

Same here in tidewater Virginia.  Slight scattered rain now.

Anyone wishcasting this hurricane to their backyard is out of their damn mind. Hopelessly batsh** crazy. That's all I got. One of the rare instances where I would rather observe from a distance.

Indeed.  I, for one, do am not wanting to be without power for weeks at the end of Virginia summer.

I think that poster is probably focusing on the timeframe around landfall... whether the eye would scrape the coast/stay offshore or move inland. That is the aspect where the GFS appears to be headed toward being late to the party.  

Probably. Just pointing out that the GFS has actually been one of the higher performing models IRT this storm, and we're a good way out now.  We've seen this movie a few times haven't we? ;-)

It's a shame the GFS is so inferior to the ECMWF these days. 

That really doesn't seem to be the case at all, in the longer time frames: 

Perhaps of interest.  Mean Absolute Error of various models on this storm.
