That link to weatherunderground map with radar and windstream.. as of 6pm.. shows some very odd "seam" of wind west of AC
WTH is that?
6:10 is off the coast now..
Zeta was declared "post-tropical" in the mid-afternoon, but the storm was motoring as it was starting to be absorbed into the approaching trough from the NW and was packing 50 mph winds through NC/VA/DE and even SNJ near the coast this afternoon and evening - that interaction might have made it look unusual vs. a standard tropical system.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Zeta Discussion Number 21
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL282020
500 PM EDT Thu Oct 29 2020
Zeta lost tropical characteristics and was declared post-tropical a
few hours ago. The surface pressure field has become elongated
with the center now embedded within a frontal zone over the
Mid-Atlantic states. The maximum sustained winds are still
estimated to be 45 kt, based on an observation received from
northeastern North Carolina a few hours ago, and winds have been
increasing at marine sites located just off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Zeta is zooming toward the east-northeast (060/48 kt), and its
center is just about to move off the Delmarva Peninsula over the
western Atlantic waters. This motion should continue for the next
day or so since Zeta is embedded within fast westerly flow ahead of
a strong mid-level trough.
