I'm strongly rooting for the weaker solution, but the other models have gone towards the Euro, such as rgem, NAM, ukie, ggem, German, jma....the GFS is an outlier at the moment. 

You have busted more than anyone on any weather board, mainly because you have a history of hugging the GFS. It has burned you many times before, and it might again. 

Its literally all alone.

I’m with you on rooting for a GFS solution. We don’t need 70 or 80 mph winds here and the coastal flooding that would result, and power outages. Hopefully there can be an inversion to keep that at bay but still give us 3-4” of rain that we need. Reminds me of March 2010 which was even worse than Irene here in terms of wind and tree damage. We don’t need that whatsoever.

The key to the synoptic evolution is the extent to which Phillipe's energy is sufficiently entrained into the developing extra-tropical cyclone. The ECMWF, UKMET, and recently, mesoscale models, tend to implicate more interaction and thus much more enhancement of the mid-upper level energy. Conversely, the GFS remains more disjointed / separate with a delayed intensification of the extra-tropical cyclone. I think the significant divergence is due in part to the fact that there's a tropical element to the dynamical evolution, and the UK/Euro combination is fairly deadly, to the extent that it can accurately prognosticate projected path and concomitant dynamics. However, contemporaneously, I think most forecasters will be burned by completely discarding a major model solution within 24 hours from an event. With that being said, the UK/Euro have been much more consistent / less capricious run to run variance. I would implement a 70% / 30% weighting split (70% Euro/UK, 30% GFS) at this point. I think the center of the sfc low will probably propagate northward through the middle of New Jersey. The LLJ is very impressive and winds above 900mb are destructive; however, I think the effect of a temperature inversion will be a bit greater than anticipated as well away from the shoreline, especially. Strong convective banding will effectively transfer some potent gusts of 55+ mph on Long Island, and into SNE. I think most of NJ and inland areas will see their strongest gusts with the NWLY flow / CAA Monday morning due to better vertical mixing. At that time, I expect gusts to 50mph or possibly 55mph in NJ. This could cause scattered power outages and downed trees. I think the destructive winds capable of producing widespread outages will be over LI and SNE, but I don't foresee gusts over 65mph at this time, away from the immediate beaches/shore.

12z Model for Philippe, look at the EURO its a massive outlier as I have been trying to get across

That's the track the Euro has for the low forming north of Philippe. You can see the Euro below tracking Philippe well SE to the west of Bermuda like most of the other guidance.

Lol so wait, are you admitting that what you showed isn't the euro track? 

So you are changing your reasoning now?

No not at all it's on the site I didn't build it.  Its also very sad how I get attacked by using meteorology to defend a model.  If I was defending the Euro instead of the GFS, everyone would agree.

You're not getting a bubble of 20c 850 air without absorbing a tropical system this time of year.  That's a huge red flag to me with the Euros depection

Then why does the GFS have a similar +20C 850 mb core south of Long Island?

its not turning it into NJ, its hundreds of miles further to the NE.  Philippe will eventually get absorbed, its much easier to get it done south of NE than it is into cape may.

This isn't exactly a powerhouse tropical storm right now and you can make an argument that it won't be fully tropical for long as it's already interacting with the front. I can see our area getting solid winds even if the tropical storm doesn't get fully absorbed, though the best winds were always supposed to be over eastern NE.

its a much much easier forecast for eastern LI into SNE, hence they already have the high wind warning.  In the watch area its a very tough forecast and the general public has no idea about this.

You can say this will be a weak hybrid storm. We will be on the NE side if the storm which is the wind side.

Every other model turns it back into some portion of New Jersey. It's the lone hold out.

The public thinks this will be a regular rainstorm because Mets are being conservative .
