“Hurricane Phoenix” is a hypothetical disaster that would change life in the TB area forever. The highest surge would reach 42’. 160+ deaths, 30k missing, 300k seeking shelter, $200B in building damage. It’s a simulation and a worst-case scenario. One day, it could be reality.

18z GFS almost backs #Lee right into Cape Cod. Western eyewall just misses and Lee gets into the Gulf of Maine and heads to Lubec and Machias before going up the Bay of Fundy. Rapid weakening occurs in Gulf of Maine due to cold water. Perhaps the 12z GEFS was serious. 👀

It should be noted that the global models have been initializing incorrect since yesterday. They are ~ 40 mb too high upon the run beginning. Therefore, it’s possible that more than half of the weaker solutions may be wrong and a reason why a turn into the GoM is more likely.
