TS/Hurricane Katia

[Cyclonicjunkie]

Katia barely misse's a landfall in NYC as the trough/front exits the coast just in time to shunt Katia OTS and save NY from a second Epic, Catastrophic, Devastating, Crisis   in the form of a weak hybrid cyclone, per the 12z GFS.

12z euro is a pretty close call for the outerbanks of NC, with Katia at 933mb just off the coast.

The 0z Euro gets even closer to a landfall, this is not a good trend for NC.

Its got into the warmer sst's also


Katia is turning out to be a compact intense Tropical cyclone and its starting to develop a nice CDO around that eye...I bet it makes major status by tonight

Katia is now a Cat 4....  And the track still looks to come dangerously close to the US East coast...  Let's hope the front that just came through garners enough strength after absorbing Lee to push it out to the fishes...

A post tropical Hurricane  When I first seen this cone, I thought they were saying a bonified hurricane off the coast of Iceland
