Oh my
I know
the hurricane models (hwrf and gfdl) have it right under the gun too. nhc forecast has been east of the models for the past day or so. we actually adjusted our internal forecast west of NHC this morning and our forecast is still east of the models.

It seems like they've seriously been underestimating the forecasted intensity of this storm

couple that with the notorious ineffectiveness of model intensity forecasts, and you have a situation in which the NHC will almost never forecast rapid intensification.

They have always sucked at predicting intensity

The 18z models should be released soon, right?

Cuba should do a number on this thing, right? IIRC eastern Cuba is mountainous.

Looking like this one has the potential to be our first Cat 5 atlantic storm in quite some time. Florida better keep an eye on this one.
Posted on 9/30/16 at 3:50 pm to ForeverLSU02
Officially a Cat 4 now 140mph winds

it's a little far out for a determination on Florida... but there is a definite threat for miami-space coast, and it's higher than the NHC forecast is letting on right now. NHC may have to make some significant westward adjustments in its 4-5 day soon.

lol, so begins the westward adjustment
