SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM SAB...TAFB...AND AFWA
ARE 65 KT...55 KT...AND 55 KT RESPECTIVELY. A WARM SPOT IS PRESENT
NEAR THE CENTER...BUT IS NOT YET GOOD ENOUGH LOOKING TO CALL AN EYE.
THE MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN AT 60 KT FOR THIS PACKAGE.

Only a formality at this point, but surfer_dude was right, it was Earl of 2004.

...FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL USE ONLY...
XXXXX DISCUSSION NUMBER 12
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT WEDNESDAY XXX XX, XXXX

POST RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITE PICTURES THIS AFTERNOON HAVE SHOWN ARC
CLOUDS WHICH MAY INDICATE 12 HOURS OR SO OF LITTLE CHANGE IN
STRENGTH. ACTUALLY... THE PULSATING SYSTEM STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH
ONE MORE NIGHT OF SOMEWHAT HOSTILE WINDS ALOFT. IF XXXXX IS NOT
TOO DAMAGED AFTER THAT... THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR STRENGTHENING FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS 295/18 KNOTS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS A
BLEND OF QLM...THE BAM RUNS...AND NHC90. AVN GUIDANCE INDICATES
RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND NORTH OF XXXXXX LATE IN
THE PERIOD WITH XXXXX EXPECTED TO BE JUST SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS.
WHILE THIS SCENARIO WOULD TEND TO SUPPORT CONTINUED SLOW WESTWARD
MOTION BEYOND THIS FORECAST...IT IS MUCH TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE
WHETHER XXXXXX WILL MAKE LANDFALL...IF AT ALL.

Another one from the archives...

...XYZ STRENGTHENS AND THREATENS SOUTHEAST NEWFOUNDLAND...

A HURRICANE WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOUTHEAST NEWFOUNDLAND
BY THE NEWFOUNDLAND WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE.

REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT AND SATELLITE
INDICATES HURRICANE XYZ HAS INCREASED HER FORWARD SPEED TO
NEARLY 40 MPH AND HAS TAKEN A COURSE THAT POSES A THREAT TO
SOUTHEAST NEWFOUNDLAND TONIGHT.

AT NOON EDT...1600Z...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE XYZ WAS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR LATITUDE 41.8 NORTH AND LONGITUDE 61.0
WEST OR ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTHEWEST OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND.

For a bit of a clue, read the advisory carefully. I'll be nice and even throw in a satellite image...

No, because in 2001 they were already on their current warning cycle (no advisory at 16z).
