Savannah and Hilton Head rarely get hit by hurricanes.  
David in 1979 but only Cat 1. 

Yeah.  It's interesting how bad the 1880-1900 period was for GA/SC, 1893 and 1898 particularly.  Otherwise very rare 

new gfs rips the potential next system into the gulf, euro recurves similar to Erin.

Insane. Another trend of RI…almost have to expect with with any storm now. 

Most of the Central and W Atlantic are +SST anomalies, it's wild.

Erin looks to follow the gulf stream rather nicely too. plenty of OHC to keep going

Yeah definitely one to watch. 
 

 

And it's already west of all those and still moving due west maybe a little south of west

Yup just get these storms into favorable shear with no dry air around and they just explode. When you have these storms in waters that normally warm into the 80’s and are still above average…a degree or two at this stage equates to a great deal of energy.

This will likely start re-curving and gaining more latitude probably in the next several hours. These wobbles and what not are more likely attributed to the rapid organization of the storms structure and strength

Yeah .5-1.5°C is a nice boost.

And we have a cat 5 

[Damage In Tolland]

Will it make cat 6 or 7?

ineedsnow thinks it has a real chance for cat 6 or 7....possibly 8

It's more than a wobble

It will start a more northerly headed very soon, once it starts to do so we’ll see it happen very quickly.

SW Atlantic will be the hot spot this season imo.

[ROOSTA]

An ever so slight track to the N. 
That Inner Core is going to expand twice, three times its present size. Wondering what the strongest Cane at present location of LAT has ever been (917mb) has to be close?

It doesnt matter. There is no high to block its stage right exit and there is no upper level low sitting over the southeast US to slingshot it towards NE.

This is what you want for a land falling hurricane in the NE

 

[ROOSTA]

12z GFS Initialization only off by 66mb. ONLY 66!

Location is N and E only off a few (hundred) miles.
Include the darts with the sharpie.

Great visual to demonstrate why Erin has absolutely no chance for the East coast in the current setup.

as others have stated, unfortunately it is literally the opposite setup.
