that stuff tip was talking to me about... another block trying to set up off the canadian maritimes, is what would probably make this storm really interesting. all that really has to happen is that the first shortwave zips by and the ridge holds a tad longer... long enough to let the canadian high to come down and create another blocking situation, and cause troughing in the eastern u.s. to amplify some.
two potential results out of that... the storm is forced slowly north around the block if the ridging doesn't hold as long or end up as pumped from the hurricane, or the falling heights over the u.s. and the block result in a more prolonged nw track and make it a threat.
