I understand that this storm is BECOMING extratropical. They further discuss that the models indicate this system is moving further to the west. They have the recon etc available to them but choose to call it quites for the weekend. At 5PM this is still a hurricane moving towards its closest US pass.

Issuing gale and storm warnings doesnot get the public's attention here in New England. We get gales all the time at 35knots plus. We will have damage here and the public is not hearing about this storm or the 85MPH winds that may hit the cape. We will watch the buoys and see what we get.
