The interesting thing is that I have never seen the GFS beat the Euro on a hurricane or nor'easter track when the GFS was further west than the Euro.

All the GFS wins including Hermine and the January 2015 blizzard were when the storm went further to the east than the Euro had it.

The Euro won with Joaquin being more east than the GFS and the GFS too far west. It also got Sandy coming back to the coast while the GFS was OTS.

The GFS did better on Hermine early on when the Euro had it coming back to the coast and strengthening while the GFS held it further east.

It also did better with the Jan 15 blizzard being further east. But it lost on Feb 2013 not being far west enough like the Euro had it.

This would be a new type of western coup for the GFS should the storm get further west like its showing and maybe part of recent updates to the model.

 

The big model test comes in 3-5 days when the GFS is more west and the Euro east which determines the day 6-10 track

I would take the Euro in a heartbeat, but we'll see what happens.

Bluewave - Great post above, thanks (having trouble with quotes).  One minor disagreement though.  I hear you on Hermine, although for my money, when it truly counted, the Euro beat the GFS on Saturday into Sunday, when it predicted a much longer eastward movement further OTS, while the GFS had the retrograde starting much earlier, impacting the coast.  The Euro "won" the part of the forecast that really mattered, IMO.

I don't remember an earthquake prior to Sandy so you may have to refresh my memory, but I do remember the one before Irene, felt it.

Ensembles remain quite uncertain for #Matthew. European has ~20% of members with US landfall, GFS closer to 50%. US interests should monitor

Even if Matthew isn't a direct hit. Going with the GFS solely here  it'll stil be major as it's transition to extra-tropical would expand wind/rain fields.

Yeah was that 2011 or 12 but I definitely  felt it...was an exciting period both years with 2011 having Irene and the incredible rains for August into Sept followed by the early snowstorm at the end of October...2012 had Sandy followed by the early November snowstorm which dropped 7 inches here.

The earthquake was in 2011 about 2-3 days before Irene hit.

Surprised by the lack of hype from u guys.  The crowd is usually nuts here.

 

 

Been reading a lot lately about the correlation between major storms / hurricanes...and the triggers of Earthquakes / Volcanoes.   quite interesting.

After the Hermine debacle I can see why. Also, there is plenty of uncertainty yet on where Matthew will ultimately track since its still around 7 days away if we do get impacts. I really wouldn't lean to heavily on any solution yet at least for a couple of more days or so.
