After the last advisory is written in the coming day or two, I hope there will be discussion on how rare a system this is - not many mid-latitude lows from the continental US become hurricanes....
IMO this system is not all that rare. Since the beginning of the year we've been constantly mentioning on here about how just off the SE U.S. has the best chance of seeing some action this season, with that region having the best conditions throughout the entire North Atlantic many expected the bulk of the activity this season could be confined to just off the SE U.S. And what do you know come the end of June/beginning of July we have our first storm and hurricane in the makings just off the SE U.S. aiming to hit Eastern/Outer Banks of NC as a Cat.2 hurricane! I don't see how this storm is all that rare when conditions have been at the very least primed in that region for months! Arthur forming in that region was not all that surprising despite the fact that the first storm of the season in the beginning of July was a hurricane and a Cat.2 at that, and made a U.S. at that strength as well.

Sure the conditions off the SE US apparently are more favorable than other areas in the Atlantic right now, but I wasn't referring to that but instead reffering to the origins of the disturbance itself - were it's origins from a Pacific or desert low, or a supercell MCC in Nebraska, etc. that dropped ESE to become Arthur - that would be rare IMO...

Data was recorded by a smartphone using PressureNet. I'm new to the hurricane world - is this interesting data?
