There’s no way you or anyone else knows how the pattern and storm track are going to evolve 9 days out. Right now anything is equally possible . And that is fact. No option is favored 

yes, a direct impact can’t be ruled out. no way to do that at this range

however, based on the pattern that is now being modeled, a direct impact looks unlikely at best. that can change, but that seems to be the deal right now

It’s not a non-zero threat,  but I agree. The Synoptics though are there on a high level, but too much other stuff to figure out.

Yesterday I was at 65% OTS/20% Atlantic Canada threat/15% New England threat. 

I think the trend on the ensembles today increase the risk slightly, but this new wrinkle with 96L just makes forecasting all the more difficult. 

This evening I’m at:

60% OTS

20% Atlantic Canada threat

20% New England threat

Maybe this will be one of those times where the D9 operational GFS is within 50 miles of pin point precision all the way up. 

Never seen such continuity at this range, from any model for that matter, when handling a tropical entity that’s crossing into the domain of the westerlies.  In fact … we’ve seen an ambrosia of different timing and spacing of features modeled between ORD and NF over the last couple of days; yet despite all those variations the TC itself still runs along that same rail service. Pretty remarkably fixated and uninfluenced by any of it …

For that matter, maybe we’ve crossed into the era of D10, 90% accuracy .., ‘magine that. One model run then no need to run a forum. Lol

20% of a direct hit at day 9. Not leaning toward a miss . Said cannot go higher than 20% hit at this distance . And he generally Poo poos everything in winter and tropics . 

Ok...  that at least gives us some goal posts to sense his thinking... And I would agree with 20% at this stage but that would be on the low side of me using the word "invested" but I do understand everyone has their own comfort level.  Thanks for clarification...

I think even at 20%, while that’s low in an absolute sense, it’s probably pretty high relative to climatological odds on a any given September 6. I’m with you in the sense I don’t have a real investment in this yet—I post because I love tropical analysis—but I’m not staying up for the euro or anything like that.

When I start getting less sleep and planning chase target locations, then it’s real to me lol.

You will be on South Florida last week of Sept. Will be the bigger story on a smaller but just as intense storm

10% chance at day 10 is a reach if you follow history in New England.

I don’t think this is a 5-10% chance looking at the broader synoptic landscape as currently forecast.

Franklin would have fit into that range, and on the lower side IMO.

The presence of an Atlantic ridge and potential for a deeper/less progressive ridge here are important pieces in my mind, even if their amplitude and orientation are uncertain at this range and could eventually guarantee OTS.

I didn't give it a 0% chance, But i will maintain a low bar, That then is where we differ, I may have different thoughts in 2-3 days from now, But overall modeled synoptic patterns are not a lock at this lead even in winter, Subtle changes will have big implications on TS outcomes up here and i will lean on the side off past history until proven otherwise on a LF major hurricane into New England.
