Satellite image TC Enawo
Tropical Cyclone Enawo was centered over the South Indian Ocean about 402NM north of Port Louis, Mauritius and was moving WSW slowly. SST are warm (29-30C)so intensification is likely as it begins to move toward Madagascar. Max winds are likely to peak near 110 knots during the next 36 hour then weaken somewhat as it nears the coast of Madagascar by 1200UTC March 7th.

A rapidly deepening low is forecast to move off the southern coast of New England late Sunday night and Monday (Feb 12th-13th) producing storm force winds west and south of the center of 50-65 knots from late Monday through Tuesday as it moves eastward out over the western North Atlantic. The strong winds will also build significant wave heights to 40 feet / 12 meters.
NOAA Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly 09 Feb 2017
The storm from yesterday (Feb 9th) as well as this one and perhaps several more this season are being enhanced by the warmer than normal SST off the US Coast north of Cape Hatteras. Often, when this occurs, you can get rapidly developing storms during the latter part of the winter (Feb-Mar) that can produce very high winds and sometimes heavy snowfalls over parts of the Northeast.
NOAA OPC Surface Forecast 1200 UTC 09 Feb 2017
A rapidly deepening storm low moving off the Middle Atlantic Coast early Thursday will cause storm to hurricane force winds from 60 to 120 NM west of the center and 120 NM southeast of a line from within 24 hours 39N67W TO 36N70W.
