This could “possibly” be like that deal we had in I think 2001. We had a strong offshore cane and strong HP to north and it created huge pressure gradient . There were HWW for all of SNE. I remember it distinctly. Was sunny/ cirrus but winds ripped during the day . I may not have year right, but I’ve talked about that event in here before 

But we don’t have a strong HP to the north?

We kind of do . May be too far NNE. Maybe nothing close to that scenario happens . Just looking for something that might not be thought of . Hoping for some kind of excitement and expecting Stein and calm

There will be nothing fun from this

Man I do wish my block island vacation was a few weeks earlier, the surf should be awesome next week. Hurricane Lee brought some good waves a few years back but I imagine these will be more significant.

Not even mocking the weenies who keep hanging on to the tiniest little piece of “positive” change?  That always seems fun.

Today near 90 and next weekend too imo as long as it doesn’t rain. What a stretch we’ve been in. Definitely cools down this week.

Actually I was confused. Posted in the wrong thread earlier.

Let's see...
The last several Advisories. Not made up and documented.
Adjusted forecast track "nudged" to the W. A WNW movement to continue with an "expected" turn to the N.
ERIN was NEVER forecasted in the earlier advisories to be located at the present position.
Just something to watch, BE AWARE, going forth.
HFSA 2am. Thursday
72.3W 33.85N (closest approach)
Only then a fish let off the hook.

Erin is gone but the follow up wave may be something worth watching. If Erin gets out fast enough we should have the ridge rebuild as a deep trough dives in to our west. And it’s also not a 14 day fantasy deal. 

Obviously we’re never favored, but it’s a different setup at a more “reasonable” range.

Water will be churned up pretty good though?

One of the reasons I like the SW Atlantic as a hot spot is the thermal environment. Erin is likely a blip, especially with it being mid August.

Interesting storm...surprised to read this from Ars...
"With a central pressure of 917 mb on Saturday, Erin ranks as the second-most intense Atlantic in the last 50 years prior to today's date, behind only Hurricane Allen in 1980."

some enjoy the pain. I doubt anyone would merrily track a massive blizzard that barely scrapes CC, unpaid anyway.

That strikes me as incorrect. Dorian, Irma, and Maria spring to mind immediately. I'm sure there are others I'm missing.

8/15 or prior.  I looked those up, all later
