At the moment the trough is still there off the east coast of the US and Katia is steadily gaining latitude. If the same pattern were to persist Katia would continue WNW until she reached the trough and simply recurve inside Bermuda without posing a threat to the continental US.

The models are talking about the trough closing off into an ULL or perhaps filling in and being replaced by a ridge. The northern part of the trough is pulling further north and the southern part is becoming shallower. I really thought the upper air pattern would be easier to forecast at this point but there is still a lot of disagreement amongst the models and apparently even between forecasters.

The intensity forecast is pretty clear we have a good eye and not too much shear so a major hurricane is on the way.

The GFS gives us a swell machine off NC. If only that would verify!

I seriously doubt this is going to turn ENE because no other model has this going ENE NE maybe, but I cant see ENE

Through 72 hours euro has shifted closer towards the gfs solution. This is an encouraging sign. Lets see how much further east the euro is this run.

They don't expect this to come near land, but if this comes near land or make landfall, people are going to be go crazy and question the recon crew or the NHC, in this case the NHC shouldnt be questioned as they follow the guidance and other data to come to their forecast, but recon should be tasked and a go

if you think thats scary, look at what the 0z had. And 12z ukmet should have everyone breathing a sigh of relief.

Through 120 hours ecmwf is headed out to sea.

I'd go with 90 kt (pressure 957mb) right now based on improvements since the buoy reports but nothing supports much higher.

I'd go with 95 kt-100 kt, very small eye has appeard on IR and it has been present in the visibles for several hours. I think they will go with cat 3 on the next advisory.

Since the last buoy report went well over Dvorak, I would then go 95 kt (pressure 954mb) after seeing that.
