Juan is certainly no "fish"

This thing is coming inland and I do not like the katest few sat images, indicating a NW motion. Prehaps Juan will end up tracking a bit closer to Maine than previously thought

I thought Juan was on target for Nova Scotia?

still should hit Nova Scotia as the trough should reach 67W before Juan does; however, it may end up a bit farther west than anticipated

True. Perhaps some of us should retract our statement of Juan being a fish. I know I am.

Nice call Derek. No doubt Halifax and the smaller maritime communities will be dealing with some cat-1/strong gale action in a couple of days. Juan's sat presentation is the best to date (I think noted by TPC in the 11am discussion), and he looks far more like a hurricane one would find between 20-30N than one up around 36-37N. Obviously he will have transitioned extratropical by landfall, but he's a very good looking storm.

As much as I laughed at Thursdays GFDL for a cat 3 landfall in Nova Scotia, that model has been doing the best.

I would not be surprised to see this become a cat 3 and make landfall as a cat 2 now

I know Juan will most likely be extra tropical by landfall.. But if he does enough up in Canada {not saying I want him too..} they may consider retiring him.

I believe Fabian will be retired and Isabel by the way lol..
