Hyperstorm wrote:Gaston WASN'T forecasted to move offshore this soon. I suspect there was a Fujiwhara Effect in here with Hermine. Hermine moving north...Gaston had to move east on the south side. That's how Fujiwhara works.

Once Hermine is out of the picture, expect a NNE heading. I'd be vigilant in Cape Cod...


Yeah I even made a gif from sat images showing the effect in motion

Yep!

Based on the overall October pattern that we have been in all summer (even evident in the SE with Charley's hook due to an unusual CF invasion into the gulf), looks like we could get snowy early around here.

Though in Green Harbor "it never snows"

Yeah right... We had 22" here in the bliz of 2003 and two storms of 15+ preceding it!

Gaston is a striper threat at this point. It will be intersting to see if there is any significant regen.

Hermine is about 20 miles SW of MVY and moving North right now. I was surprised to see some weak bands of showers around the center on the BOX radar. I thougth that this was going to come through dry as a bone, but i suppose that I will have to go outside and roll up the windows in the car afterall!
