Last night’s run of GFDL takes the storm smack into NYC.

Yep and 2 other GFDL model interpolations bring it on top of NYC also.

One good thing, most wind speed projections drop it to a high Cat 1 or low Cat 2 by then, but they add that wind speed projections are not that good this far out.

I can’t wrap my brain around Big Apple residents dealing with a hurricane.

The GFDL was the last model to leave Florida alone, the last to leave Georgia, the last to leave South Carolina... I think they've incorporated global warming theories as GFDL this year has been only useful for projecting where a hurricane won't go, rather than being the very accurate beast it was.

The wind shear from steering currents, the colder water, and the expending of energy that it gathered in the Caribbean will pretty much ensure that (IF) it reaches land, it will likely barely have hurricane force winds. That said, anyone in that region should prepare for high winds and heavy rain.
