12z GFS north and east of 0z. Similar to 6z but weaker.

Gfs has a weaker ridge causing the storm to turn NE between hours 12 and 18 before resuming north. This seems to account for the east shift. The ridge has been steadily weaker each run since 0z. Is this something likely to happen or is the GFS overdoing this weakness?

Could be, but I've heard elsewhere that the ridge is actually stronger than forecast so I'm confused as to which is the case. Gfs has also been persistent with bringing this further north. UKMET went east this morning but now has come back west. Seems like uncertainty is increasing at about the 4 day mark.

Maybe that's why it's so weak. I've never seen a 947 mb storm with winds so low. Seems like recon is finding a low end Cat 2. With no land interaction for a few days and warmer water, it should have no problem completing.


Sandy of 2012 was at one point 940 mb and cat 1 (80 knots) before extratropical transition:

One thing probably allowing this to occur is that background pressures aren't that high to the north thanks to the remnant lower pressure from Jose.

12Z GEFS mean: east shift vs the 6Z GEFS mean and about 2 degrees/120 miles east of the 18Z GEFS mean. One member comes onshore and goes inland, a couple of others are very nearshore, and the rest are offshore.

Edit: 12Z GEFS mean doesn't get any further west than about 73.2W (tomorrow). But she's already near 73.0W and is still moving NNW. So, the 12Z GEFS mean is liable to end up east of the actual track.

Euro seems pretty much identical to previous runs as best I can tell (through 24)

Seems slightly NW at 48 (please tell me if I'm off on this).

NW as 72 as well (both based on looking at yesterday's 12z)

Did a trend gif, definitely Northwest at 72. Seems faster too.

The 12Z Euro is well west of the 12Z GFS/GEFS mean, but is actually a bit east of the 0Z Euro track.

That's because 12z GFS turns it back East between hours 12 and 18. Really don't see that verifying, but we'll see.

The trend gif I did makes it look slightly NW of 0z. Don't know how to post it here though.

Edit: Nvm, it was comparing to yesterday's 12z.

How are you comparing it to 0z? Does another source have something other than 24 points?

No, see above. It was comparing to 12z.

He said 12z GFS but then said 0z Euro comparison so I was wondering if there was 12 hour fixes somewhere.

Hurricane force winds seem to just barely touch OBX. They might put a Hurricane watch for NC coast, and Tropical Storm watch for the Tidewater area later today or tomorrow.
