USCG RS

I would therefore expect the Euro to follow suit...

My brother turned me onto it. I recommend the Rendezvous version if you can find it. Campfire, though, is rather spicy and this could jive depending on your palate.

High West?

Thats it. Sunny and 58 degrees in Boston tomorrow.

Yes you have. Think it comes any further west? Edit- We truly are close to an absolute historic storm.

Yes sir. (It fits my theory I proposed during Irma... And with other scientific theories proposed by those much more educated than me in this field). But the physics of the HBL are easily disrupted by land. The physics which allow the convergence and eventual building of the secondary eyewall is easily messed up. As such, the ERC can be delayed, which thus can hurt the structure of the storm (to explain this post further, my theory was that ERC are a normal part of keeping a healthy and mature storm, that happen regardless of outside influences )

The difference with this is that she will likely be a major hurricane moving up the eastern seaboard. This presents a different scenario and with the WAR likely remaining strong, she should continue to plow to the north. She will take the path of least resistance, and though the AO looks to continue favor blocking over the mid atl and NE, I don't see it being strong enough to surpress Maria (assuming she is a major hurricane). That WAR is unrelenting. Likewise, just look at what Jose is doing and we can see that there is a good chance that if Jose can push through the AO created blocking, Maria likely will as well. Additionally, if the NAM (big if) is correct and Jose actually makes landfall, he becomes a remnant lp system, even if he is able to make the loop. This means that he will not be strong enough to create an out for Maria to escape ots. I am very concerned at this point for the EC.
