An interesting off the record note from a chief met friend in SC...

It was from early this morning (just got it), but you can see we're in the same boat with the gurus:

...yesterday he logn range model showed it hitting Slidell, but this morning is now targeting Panama City Beach. Looks like if the trough is strong enough to pick up the storm, it will be drawn into Florida. If not, it will drift into the Southern Gulf and might meander. Several models bring it to Tampico/BoC, but at the moment, I do not see why that would happen. It is still really early to tell, but right now I would count on this becoming a major hurricane....
