Re: The NHC forecast is only good for 3 day, after 72 hrs a sharp short wave will pick IKE up

It looks like Ike is heading due West or very slightly North of West which is about to bring the CoC out over water just South of the Cuban coast. We'll see soon if that shortwave trough that the GFS has picked up is real or just a temporary anomaly. At any rate, things won't begin to gel until Ike is in the Gulf.
