Official track is now showing the westward bend which will occur when the ULL just to the west finally fills in and the ridge bridges over. High cirrus is beginning to expand more symmetrically rather than a NNW oriented oblong. The slowdown in forward speed is probably just a short term wobble illusion.

The hair-pull factor is exacerbated by the fact that the dive SW, according to the models, will be at the exact angle to parallel the coast for anyone's guess how long. Seems there can never just be a clear-cut MH landfall on the U.S. east coast even when it seems 5 days out that all the cards are stacked.

Check the outflow kicking in on the east quad.
The PV Streamer on the SE quad is filling in fast with moisture.
Very strong jet over East Cuba / West Hispaniola.
Ideal UL conditions in place for intensification.

It is not just the wind and surge, which are both dangerous, but the possibility of it stalling or slowly meandering around and dumping an enormous amount of rainfall, more than those areas have ever seen from a tropical cyclone. The flooding could be catastrophic.
