Taking a look at our coming PTC. Thanks to @Nibor for showing me how to post larger gif animations. 

You can clearly see both the gradual organization and headwinds for the coming PTC 9. To the north, you can see arc clouds still radiating out of the area, indicating the presence of some dry air. You can also see some of the thunderstorm tops being sheared, although it does look like in recent frames that things may have slackened some.  

It's easier to see the larger scale spin, and recon is on the way to examine how well defined a low level center there is. For a relatively short term forecast, there is still a lot to be figured out.

Yeah we have a long way to go…

[Coach McGuirk]

It's been such a dead season, I want to believe.

Humberto is a little west of track and is now forecast to become our second category five hurricane of the season.

A stall off the coast is fine with us in Helene ravaged WNC.

0Z Icon is again OTS.

[GaWx]

0Z GFS also likely not going to hit the US based on 78 but we’ll see.

Looking like the stall offshore is real

[GaWx]

0Z:

Icon stays OTS as has been case every run

GFS stays OTS 2nd run in a row

JMA goes out only 72 but implies it would again get pulled into Humberto and stay OTS

UKMET stays OTS as (like the Icon) has been the case every run:

Everyone here wants a hurricane to hit.  We are all weenies. 

[Rd9108]

Looks like another fish storm

[GaWx]

0Z CMC stays OTS unlike 12Z, which looped back to NC

 So far, all OTS with only Euro left

Canadian starts out that way, but then gets trapped under the ridge and a much weaker version of future Imelda gets pulled into New England. 

Verbatim stuff aside, if this becomes a situation where it will be a close scrape of the SE coast, we’ll need to pay close attention to the orientation of this ridge and whether it closes off an escape route as Imelda tries moving eastward. I was always skeptical of Imelda getting well inland and I brought the ridging closing the escape route up as a possibility yesterday. While I’d be skeptical of some sort of threat further north, it really seems like anything is on the table. 

Anomalous ridging does anomalous things. Sometimes.  

[Coach McGuirk]

Such a bizarre situation.  I don't think we know what will happen. 

[GaWx]

0Z Euro stays away from the US.

[NorthHillsWx]

Humberto being stronger and further west is why the models are showing more interaction/Imelda being pulled east. This is not set in stone hopefully no one lets their guard down but obviously this drastically reduces impacts if the offshore stall occurs. Huge difference in 100 miles at this range 

[NorthHillsWx]

These homebrew systems developing under ridges with weak steering flows are typically a pain in the ass to forecast in the southeast
