It's still 5-6 days out from any potential UK impact isn't it (assuming no
sudden speed-up in track)? So presumably all the usual health-warnings that
far out still apply, whether or not it achieves hurricane status near its
present position. Interesting that the absence of hurricane-hunter
lights - unsurprising perhaps given how far east of the US it is - seems to
be hampering the interpretation and forecasting by the NHC a little.

'lights' = flights of course.

Not just the numerical model being outside its compfort zone.
I suppose those USA craft and pilots are the only ones who could go near
, let alone through, hurricanes.
I doubt these people

could go anywhere near
