Felix produced some tremendous surf during August 95. Long Island beaches were washed over and closed to swimming for almost 2 weeks. There was also some pretty severe beach erosion.

Jose, if he gets close enough will probably do the same but hardly anyone will notice as the beach season is effectively over 

That was a month when we could have used a TC hit, one of our driest summer months on record and wildfires all over the tristate area!

Ends up here in 10 days but takes a wild track

Looks pretty weak though, is that a high end tropical storm it shows there or a Cat 1?......the weaker the storm is, the harder it'll be to predict where it's going to go (weak storms typically are less likely to get picked up by troughs and recurve.)

Clearly a big compromise overnight. The euro op and gfs op lost the idea of a quick "exit stage right", while the ukie backed away from its track towards Florida, and is much closer to the rest of guidance through 144 hr. That said, especially regarding the euro, I would have liked to see more of the compromise in the beginning of the run, versus the end.  The respective operational runs for a graze/LF are incredibly tenuous, as is reflected on their ensembles which are still largely ots. I think the prospect of any LF remains dubious in this setup until/unless we gain significantly more longitude in the 0-96 hr timeframe. 

Although one thing to add to the reasons for why this can be "more than a fish even without landfall" --significant beach erosion, high winds on the coast and coastal flooding etc..--is the anomalous amount of high latitude blocking over the Northwest Atlantic. This aspect is still 8 days out so it's clearly highly uncertain, but it is currently being reflected on most guidance at this point, particularly the euro...so that's something to watch for as well..

Looks like the storm will do two loops now- one where it is now and the other one closer to our latitude; we are talking about the 7-10 day period here when the ridge builds back in and either stalls the system or loops it back.  This one looks like a north of Hatteras system vs what Irma was (south of Hatteras.)  Is this still going to be a hurricane 7-10 days from now?  It's barely one right now!
