Seriously though, what a performance Sam is still displaying. Eye clearing out, deep convection around the entire eye...crazy.

This is a video of Dr. Cowan discussing his research on how trough interaction aids tropical cyclones in some cases and I have heard a lot of chatter that trough interaction is responsible for Sam being able to maintain it's strength and structure as it has up to this point. Would 10/10 check this out. A lot of it went over my head but hey, extremely educational nonetheless and I'm sure a lot of people here would think so too.
Flashback to Humberto in 2019
Looking back at Humberto from 2019...definitely some trough interaction there. Levi was saying that the right entrance region of the jet stream/streak enables more outflow which strengthens the tropical cyclone and counteracts the negative impacts of shear that typically increases as you get closer to the trough. Zeta from last year is a beautiful example of this and is why it was able to reach cat 3 intensity over water that was too cold, increasing shear and fast forward motion.
Reckon major hurricanes off the coast of New York would become a reality soon?
