We should get some better data going forward as the NWS will be releasing weather balloons along the whole east coast every six hours, instead of the normal 12 hours.  So I would think that the 06z and 18z GFS models would be more accurate than they otherwise would be.  Of course, the word "accurate" is taken with a grain of salt.

The real feature in question is the s/w in the Plains.

the age old mantra of there still being lots of time unfortunately still parlays into [probably] different solutions still...

that said, if this 132 hour GFS solution is correct, this CAN'T GO OUT TO SEA, and any solution trying to sell it as doing so should be decommissioned - either that, or change 132 hour idea.

keeping things in perspective ... if the present drama includes just this GFS oper. solution?   we are talking 980 mb low pressure... yeeeah, impressive, but we've had plenty of nor-easters down that low - just sayn'

this, The only difference is leafed trees may be a little more problematic

Don't think that's full res. The model depicts a 980 landfall in NC and people were saying the high res was 930s there.

GFS show a 992mb low as it passes Haiti.  Uh uh, not happening.  This thing will be ~940mb. So a 982mb low passing over us would be no slouch even though it is transitioning.  Would likely be a Cat 1/2 storm.

I think the products available to us, are not the real 13KM version.
