Typical weather website forecast pages are irrelevant when tropical systems are approaching. Ignore them.

You're getting model output for the forecast, it's not like they make the forecast themselves for every location. Day to day, the NWS is going to be better because they do actually make a forecast for the area. For this? Meh, it's probably not too bad but the whole thing is dependent on where the storm actually hits.
NWS won't have wind projections for this though.
That forecast isn't terribly unreasonable though. It just depends on where the storm actually goes in. Just on the east side of it and the wind values could be higher, even pushing toward 70 mph. Ends up going just east and yeah, 35-50 seems pretty reasonable.
