What about the possibility of an unstacked cyclone. Low level moves West and mid and upper level moves East.

That would explain the split in the Euro and GFS model. It would also explain what we are seeing on the sats right now.

Also remember the NE Quadrant is not the strongest wind field in a westward moving storm. The strongest winds are found in the Right Front Quadrant with respect to motion of the system. NE Quad becomes NW Quad when moving west. This explains, to a degree, why RECON found the max winds on the NW Inbound leg.
