What I find so remarkable, is that given 95L's incredible tenacity despite all the odds, and that this low has essentially behaved this way from its beginnings, any typical heart of a hurricane season would have likely seen it blow up into a longer-lived cat 1-5. Not the 2013 season. Looks like '13 so far has been 95L's very unlucky number.

Considering how much staying power the low has had, I continue to pay some attention to models which take it, or its energy transfer, off to the ENE, and develop it. Even the 12z ECMWF teases a potentially not very entertaining Sandy-esque scenario.

Bizarre year, showing yet again how still very little is known about tropical cyclones.
