Gonna be another issue of timing with this one. There's a pretty sharp trough projected to hit the east coast in about 4 days -- still remains to be seen whether or not it'll be enough to capture what will probably end up being Gamma and turn it northward. I think it will at some point, but I agree that any US impact is still ~6 or so days away. Still a near-equal chance it keeps trucking westward and misses the trough, particularly if it moves slower than anticipated, or that it gets turned up and out to sea across Cuba & the Bahamas like one of those storms that HF posted. Got plenty of time to watch it, though.

Posted up a new blog about this one...probably resume the season-in-review stuff after this one's done. For those interested and that have noticed the lack of MM5 runs lately, we've restarted our realtime MM5 at http://moe.met.fsu.edu/mm5/ on a once-daily (00Z runs; all data available by 15z/10a ET) basis at 54km/18km/6km resolution for as long as TD 27/future(?) Gamma is out there.
