The latest GFS run would absolutely obliterate that record which is why I don't put much stock in runs like that. However, everyone remember Sandy? Never say never but there's a ton of dramatic model runs ahead I'm afraid, buckle up folks!
Yeah it's likely to be a crazy week with hard moderation, freaking out people and everyone but the mets being as non-productive otherwise as possible at work staring at satellite loops, models, posts - having tons of tabs or windows open and being slightly on edge/jacked up/nervous/lacking sleep....
One thing that I'm going to throw out there is that if reality starts favoring a GFS type solution with the potential of a major in the Gulf (even if ultimately fading at landfall) wobble wars will get replaced by "you can have its." Haha. Obviously this could be nothing, but it's not every hurricane season day where anyone interested is staring down the possibility of a big hit. Back in 02, 03, 04, 05 here and on CFHC [tm], and then 2008 and 2010 here, there were legitimate reasons to be apprehensive. Who knows? I just hope everyone who is on here or reads if not active stays ahead of the curve over the public at large.
