Winds have increased to near 85 mph. Could they go any higher? Could this storm affect Chincoteague, Virginia?
Worried about those ponies.

The only thing you can count on is that anything can happen.
This storm is doing what she wants, not what is expected of her
so if your near by, be ready for anything (Get those Ponies to safety)

JB still says this will track more westward and pass between block island and cape cod. discussion state that some models are going west as well after the NC passage. Any thoughts?

12Z appears to be further left compared to its previous runs, though it still takes the storm east of Cape Cod in about 72 hours. It may take awhile for the storm to weaken significantly, assuming interaction with land doesn't do it in as it passes along the NC coast. Outflow will temporarily be enhanced by the approaching trough and then favorable baroclinic influences should keep it as an intense cyclone as it gradually becomes .
Even if it still has minimal hurricane or strong tropical storm intensity as it approaches New England, though, the strongest winds will likely be displaced to the eastern half of the system by then, so it will have to take a track a fair amount west of what is currently expected for anyone up there to get some significant impacts from this system.

The 2pm advisory has been corrected to reflect the 85 mph maximum winds.

check the radar out and see the more NE movement now with the storm.

As i stated before this storm may not ever hit the coast and now with this new loop it looks more like it won't.

Don't agree...to me, Morehead City looks dead in the middle of its current movment. It's currently moving NNE and would need almost a due east motion to miss it.

Opehlia has basically been one of the easier storms to forecast. Still going to brush the carolinas with TS force winds and hurricane force over the outerbanks then move NNE-NE near eastern Long Island and brush Cape Cod. There is a chance it might go further out to sea but this has been my forecast for the past 5 days now. The system has been moving slightly slower then I forecasted though last week.
95L should become a TD in a day or 2 movement will be difficult after 3 days as many models show a trough over the eastern carribean N towards bermuda. Also possible 96L in a day or 2 N of puerto rico should swing Sw then W and be near hispaniola by the weekend.

The northern eyewall has hit land, but the center of the storm has not. The center appears to be headed in the general direction of Cape Lookout.

The storm to me is tracking due North now. Away from forecasted track. Does anyone else see this?

It does like north at this point, but too early to see if it's a trend. There have been some other fluctuations during the day.

Ed,
Where are you located in Va? I expect the Tidewater area to get some of the fury of this storm.

Williamsburg...so don't expect any big impact here. Tidewater could be another story.
