This thing is moving more and more east it would seem

We were here for the car show last year and there was still tons of tree damage. We really have enjoyed living here and hate to see it coming this way, but I am feeling a little better for all of my family in central Florida. We will probably head that way if it keeps coming this direction.

This is looking more and more like Matthew - but way stronger. We got pretty lucky in Charleston last year with deintensifying, the location of landfall, and it hitting at low tide. Pretty much everything went right. Can't count on that happening twice in less than a year.

Yeah, that's the current trend, but it's also on the edge of the usefulness of these models. We'll need to see how it develops.

My 76 year old Mom is like 7 miles West of Vero Beach. She's headed to family in Orlando . Stay safe.

I would assume traffic's pretty bad already, huh?

I hope they made it through the storm ok. Is it just me but I wouldn't be standing in front of a glass door during a major hurricane...

Don't put ideas in their head. They can sleep when hurricane season is over.

Indeed.

Honestly, when I see the models with the landfall at the SC/GA border this far out, I breathe a little easier because the track always seems to continue to shift further east.

Doesn't mean we won't get clipped, of course.

GFS ensembles look even better than the operational run for Florida. We'll see if this trend holds on the 12z runs.


Decent eastward shift overnight, wouldn't take much to get back to OTS.

I would guess. I would expect 95 to be a clusterfrick very soon.

What's the cause? Looks like that ULL is getting farther into the southeast and pulling Irma up and eventually around the eastern edge.

Any early indication that this may continue to turn east and actually stay over water and avoid the Carolinas as well?

Edit: I see an acronym "OTS", is that "out to sea"?

I think the previous was a little west.

fricking hell.

On another note, palm trees are insane. They hardly lose a branch in 120 mph winds.
