Interesting that the Euro has the track moving more inland than the NHC track. With the Euro handling storms pretty much spot on, and NHC doing well, I think we`re in for a very interesting Sunday here in Florida. I worry for the people that stayed down there and those in Naples not to mention the whole SW coast line.

Looks like Irma is heading more NNW than NW, at least in the short term.

Big Pine Key looks like its taking the worst of it, radar estimated 130 mph winds. 13 miles to landfall. Eyewall looking a bit ragged, dry pocket to the south.

Dare that I say this, but as time is passing by I am beginning to suspect that Irma may be susceptible to a "Charley affect". What is that? I noticed here in Parrish that the heavier squals migrate from east to west, but as they approach the westcoast they dry up...we are now getting some light rain, but Polk County has had heavy weather, including tornado activity, that disapated to mist here in central Manatee County. I have watched the WV loop and what I see is very dry air diving down from the NW toward the storm and moisture is evaporating along the western side. This is what occurred with Charlie. I am hopeful that this trough now in the central GOM will push Irma to the NE.
Could be wishing an outcome. But this affect seems to be influencing the progress of this system.

Obviously this close to land every wobble is meaningful, but watching the radar on the Southwest Florida Water Management District site this sucker is looking like it's traveling nearly due north right now, if not with a tiny wobble to the east. It looks to my novice and nervous mind that it's definitely to the right of the NHC track, at least.

It would be beyond ridiculous if this system pulled a Charley and headed toward the right, making the turn the models had said for so long, but not when they expected.

Going to be a long, long day/night.

Correct me if I`m wrong, but as Irma moved over the keys, did I see a slight movement more to the N than NW ?

Pulling up the Satellite floater and turning on the forecast points, Irma looks significantly east of the forecast track. So much so that I wonder why TWC is not talking about it. Someone convince me the center Irma doesn't appear headed to Naples or east of Napes.

I totally agree with you. I remember when Charlie was moving up the Gulf years ago, Mike Clay of Bay News 9 spotted an eastern wobble and said that if may be nothing but if the next move goes the same way, then Charlie may be heading to landfall south of T.B. If it is known that Irma went slightly east of Key West and the hourly updates show a mostly northern motion (5 a.m. - 24.1, 81.5, 10 a.m. - 24.8, 81.5), at least a local met here in Tampa can state that the storm is tracking east of the model but caution people to not let their guard down. For caution's sake, I do understand it though.

I'm not an expert. But this is more than a wobble at this point. Irma is significantly east of track and no one is talking about it. It's like these weather people on the news have no training whatsoever.

Yep she is east of the forecast line, off by maybe 20 miles? but tracking kind of parallel to it so far.

edit - moving faster and almost due NORTH? Looks to hit Naples.

Probably going about 350 (NNW?) I'd say in the last handful of hours. I'm curious how the track will adjust (if any) at the next track update.

They are discussing it on NBC/ABC in Ft. Myers. It's very evident on satellite and radar.

According to my eyes, it isn't really parallel. She was on track four or five hours ago, now quite a bit east. Seems to be heading due north.

Wobble, wobble, wobble. Like a top spinning down. But it looks east of track to me.

The motion has been virtually to the North since at least 7:15 a.m. The over all shape of the system is elongated north-south. The west side has been affected by the dry air moving over the GOM, and it is affecting its structure, IMO.. Sky here has lifted and brightened considerably in the last hour and on the satellite that is revealed by white in the north west quadrant..barometers here have been steady for a while now at about 29.66

I see the same thing, curious to see if that dry air will continue to shread the west side.. I am a little rusty it's been awhile since I have been on here, but looks to me like a landfall further South..

She went due north for 2 hours, now could be working or wobbling her way NNW. Naples landfall very possible on this track. While that would be bad for them (of course) it would be good for FL overall as the NE eyewall would come ashore in a very sparsely populated area vs a Charely situation with landfall near Sanibel, Punta Gorda or worst Sarasota or terrible if Tampa.
