Looks like a slim chance it could stay south and miss the low pressure front that's supposed to push it offshore.

Watch out on the rocks this weekend. Higher than usual tides coupled with a big swell can be quite dangerous. Even if the storm misses us way east, there's still going to be some impact.

I hate these %$%$%$%$ing things...this is headed right at us. I hope it goes away. Then again, it could screw up Obama's vacation and that is worth something.

Al Roker says headed out to sea! You alarmists better gas up the car and stock up on water, milk, bread, batteries and candles!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

At this point one of two things can happen.
1) The storm hits us head on, we batten down the hatches and ride it out. the fishing will be shut off for about a week while we all go into disaster recovery mode.
2) It goes out to sea as the current weather models predict. It churns up the surf, might create a late season algae bloom (red-tide), and may even push some of those large bass off of the tuna grounds back into the shallower shores.
Either way it'll be a change in what has been a very boring summer.
If it weren't for fresh water and my kayak, I wouldn't have much to brag about.

Probably hubris, but.....

The really long range forecasts have it spinning further out that that picture, but still coming roughly as close before turning....

sorry about your vacation plans, SW.
hope it's just a glancing blow and not a stiff Noreaster uppercut.

Cape Cod now in the cone of uncertainty. Watch out...this one could be the one. I don't like this path.

Sunday/Monday forecasts showing 8-12' coastal, 10-15' outer coastal, and up to 35' on the Grand Banks.... Looks like the tuna trip window closes Saturday, at least for a few days.
Should at least have some good surf for Saturday's North Shore Leg at Plum Island.

Yeah, I was with you a day or so ago, but that High coming in should be big enough to block it and send it out to the Maritimes...
What do you mean? I saw Al Roker interviewing the cast of the Office...  |

Look, look at this. We got Hurricane Bill moving north off the Atlantic seaboard. Huge... getting massive. Two, this low south of Sable Island, ready to explode. Look at this. Three, a fresh cold front swooping down from Canada. But it's caught a ride on the jet stream... and is motoring hell-bent towards the Atlantic. What if Hurricane Bill runs smack into it? Add to the scenario this baby off Sable Island, scrounging for energy. She'll start feeding off both the Canadian cold front... and Hurricane Bill. You could be a meteorologist all your life... and never see something like this. It would be a disaster of epic proportions. It would be... the perfect storm.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

From a weather router:
Quote:
Only the GFS model takes Bill right down the pipe for Bermuda. The rest of the models are more westerly in their tracks and the official forecast from NHC/NWS assumes the western models are correct and takes a slightly west biased route.
All of the guidance is predicated on the troughs out in the Atlantic and the yet to form trough in the far Eastern US to affect the high pressure out in the Atlantic (Bill's steering wheel).
As the storm only appears to be threatening Bermuda at the moment, Bill will need to find the needle in the haystack to threaten life and property and while that is possible, I am not losing any sleep over his forecast path....Yet. Let's see how dramatic the NW turn is in 36-72 hours and that will give us a much better sense of where he is going.
Also keep your eye on the disturbed weather between Cuba/ Bahamas/Florida. Nothing yet and the NHC says "low probs" but they had "No Probs" in the area where Claudette formed...

I dunno, they changed the predicted track as of this AM bringing it closer to the Cape
Without a doubt, it bears watching at this point... 
Raven, ya might wanna check with your Indian friend on this one...I've got a call in to the old Portagee down the street but he's out right now
He may be in the yard securing his tomato plants |

Isn't today the anniversary of out last pinwheeled visitor, Hurricane Bob in the early 90s?
The Cape is going to see gale force winds and high surf no matter what, looking at that track. And you'll get surf all along the mid-Atlantic bight.
