Will cutoff low off Carolinas have an Invest?

The ship left the Bahamas Thursday and was scheduled to pull into New York Harbor this weekend. It is instead in the Port of Charleston in South Carolina.

The ship was re-directed to South Carolina after a concerned relative of a passenger reported to the Coast Guard that passengers became frightened in the storm.

The Coast Guard said a huge wave crashed into a deck.

Several passengers reported windows being blown out of the ship and there were also reports of water in some cabins.

The ship was supposed to arrive in New York on Sunday, but it will now dock sometime on Monday, officials said.

Coast Guard inspectors were on their way to assess the damage Saturday evening.

As of now (10:30 PM EDT SAT), I still see this huge Norwegian Dawn cruise ship from out my window docked here in Charleston. It has been here at least most of the day. There is also a second cruise ship right next to it.

The Norwegian Dawn, a MASSIVE ship, just pulled out about 15 minutes ago. It is still a cool sight as I watch it head toward the open ocean.

Still today brisk winds between 25-35 kts are well offshore the East Coast.But as the low weakens the winds will go down slowly although high swells will be arriving at the coast for the next 2 days.

have a question - will this possibly cool the waters in this area? and if so could therefore inhibit any action on that area for how long?

Yes those waters are cool off the East Coast and will continue to be that way for a few weeks thanks to that low pressure dragging cool N to NE winds as the warming has been somewhat delayed.
