A Hurricane threat next week for the East coast??

I'd like some input by the meteorlogical gurus (you know who you are~ Clark, Jason Kelley, HankFrank...just to name a couple) on the feasibility of the scenario presented in Bastardi's video actually occuring this early in the season. Is it really possible to be staring down a major hurricane approaching the Southeast US coast next week?????
I posed this same question on another weather forum and a pro met stated that the pattern set-up was very similar to Frances's environment of last year. This met said that, if Bastardi's east coast trof misses the tropical wave currently over the eastern Atlantic, then it is quite likely the system will strengthen dramatically as it turns back to the west toward the Southeast US coast.

Any comments?....could this be our first "real" threat of the 2005 season???
