re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

Most are westward on the ensembles.

Man watching TWC, it's like doomsday

My forecast for IRMA, before this thread was even started:

I can tell you right now, Irma is going to go right through the south tip of Florida sometime between Sept 10th - 12th. The stupid meeting planner at my company has almost 700 people flying in for our national sales meeting in Bonita Springs Sept 10 - 15.

There's a 40% chance every year of a cyclone event hitting somewhere in Florida on September 10th. It's the peak chance of it happening during hurricane season.

Over the next 9 hours they expect it to move .4N and 1.8W, which is very close to the movement over the last 3 hours.

It may be slipping just slightly south of the forecast track but can't really tell with ragged eye and wobbles.

HMON has shifted south and has it on the northern coast of Cuba when passing 81W and the NHC has it in S. Florida by that point.

Bobby Jindal was a human dynamo when it came to hurricanes. Unfortunately, he was a POS otherwise.

Rick Scott is a pos
