If that had any validity or skill I would be Ecstatic 

 

Euro did pop something off the SE coast. Hard recurve would mitigate surf to some degree though. That legacy GFS would probably be a Bill redux from a waves perspective, which would be sweet.

Invest 95L now.. 

The most likely is some mess approaches the SE probably to close to DR , Cuba or S Florida to organize and then veers NE OTS as a weak 1007 mb low imo 

would love this to organize earlier and away from island interference and take a more due N track for the swell train

Look at that path leading right to NE. Given the right circumstances this could be the year for a big one.

Would be better if we had anomalously warm waters NE of us, though, promoting slightly higher pressure and maybe stronger blocking episodes. That is nitpicky..

There might also be CV activity to follow over the next week ... 

The MJO is weak but circuiting through the right side of the Wheeler ... and as typical with those wave spaces, the 200 mb velocity potential not as negative ... in fact, modestly positive between the west coast of Africa and 55W.

As of the 27th the 200 and 850 mb vector analysis' had modestly hostile/sheer orientation. Today being the 30th...that's a fair amount of time to have changed those metrics.  I'm not sure what those are now, but... SSTs/integral heat content is nearing apex, and given to the MJO and those velocity potentials ...those stress mitigators may be lessening here.  Meanwhile, a decent cyclonic momentum has recently been ejected and presently is wsw of the CV Islands.  It's broad and needs a lot of work ... Saharan air/dust appears for the time being to behave in it's climate zone N of that area.  

Just in the off chance ... I gotta say...with the AA structure/bias to the hemispheric circulation we are observing as a persistence this summer season... that doesn't really probabilistically/intuitively lend to the notion that this is a good season to carry a TC  3,500 K miles west.  For 'cane enthusiasts ... you want more longitudinal flow types...with less N-S-N wave undulations and less blocking at mid and high latitudes - the preponderance of the latter indirectly effects said probabilities, because when there is a lot of that, ...we tend to TUTTs and weakness in ridges.

It's worth monitoring what the models say about the large-scale circulation ("jet stream") over the eastern U.S. in the next 1-2 weeks (if, for nothing else, its potential steering of any incoming tropical systems lurking out there ;)

New GFS was close but it will change a 100 times between now and then

In New England, probably. 

I don’t get this it doesn’t happen in New England mantra on this forum. Everyone acts like once in 100 years is the New England norm. It’s really not though we are in a hurricane drought that will end at some point. 30 years without a hurricane is a long time. Please stop acting like we don’t get hurricanes because it will happen.

I was kidding, but going nearly 30 years without a hurricane landfall kind of speaks for itself.

A hurricane is always a low probability deal up here, more than just about any other stretch of the US coastline. Not so much for other impactful forms of tropical but that’s infrequent enough as well. 

The really high impact storms tend to be few and far between, even on the Cape and islands. For much of the 19th and early 20th century, most people were probably not even aware that they were getting hit by the remnants of a tropical system. It had been such a long time since a major strike that people largely wrote off the threat of hurricanes by the 1930s. It will be interesting to find out how woefully unprepared we are and how badly underfunded our utilities' storm sinking funds are when the next cat 2 or 3 hits us squarely on the chin.
