Doesn’t look like it is turning out to sea, does it?
If you follow the eye of the storm in relation to the square grid (in the animation), you'll see it is turning sharply to the north. But it does seem like it may land somewhere in Canada, unless it very quickly moves northeast.
I’m in PA at the NY border, we are so sopped here it will take years to dry out! I see where it is going sharply north and west....We’ll keep an eye out LOL!
All that rain you’ve been getting has little if anything to do with the hurricane, unless the hurricane is acting as a steering or ‘blocking’ mechanism for the stalled front currently along the eastcoast?
In any case, here are some Doppler animation links I put together that you might find useful:
