Minimal Hurricane Arthur Heads for Canadian Maritimes

The latest advisory this Friday evening lists a forward speed of 31mph to the northeast - and that should just about be the top forward speed for Arthur. Later Saturday the hurricane should transition to a strong extratropical storm. I believe that the all-time record for forward speed was 60mph with the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. That hurricane was also known as the Long Island Express - for obvious reasons

Cheers,
