Well, we've dodged the bullet so far this year, this may be the one that gets through.
The GFS has been trending this way for several runs now and as the discussion indicates the ULL is not digging SE.

I know it appears the ULL is not digging southeast, but won't the next trough coming the middle of next week veer Helene out to sea?

So GFS has Helene crashing through the Bahamas and into Florida, then bouncing off Florida and skirting up the East Coast?!?

I'm having trouble with my Java so I can't see most of the loops out there ... could someone verify that this is what the GFS is currently showing?

The one thing that irks me about the GFS... it's chugging along going west and then that it turns it north almost on a dime type of fast. Not saying that it's wrong (or right ... waiting for more model runs cause my brain won't let me get that much needed sleep untill my curiosity is appeased).

What worries me most is if that track did verify it looks like it is coming ugly close to taking a gulf stream express to NC. I was enjoying tracking fishies... this one needs to stay a fish too!

On a side note... boy peeps came crawling outta the woodwork with that GFS run! Must be more lurkers out there then most will admit to *snickers*
