The Canadian develops a weak low (1009mb) on a cold front just offshore in 5 days. The low tracks up the front and inland into New England. It also has SW winds at 50-90 kts in the upper levels atop the surface low. So it's nothing to be concerned about.

12Z GFS shows the same thing - weak low (1012mb) along the front between Hatteras and Long Island next week. However, 200mb winds are from the SSW at 90-110 kts over the low. It's definitely not a tropical feature.

probably picking up on the tail end of a cold front.
