I think we would have to consider ourselves extremely lucky if NHC were able to get a handle on her by 2 or 5 today.

I'm thinking it'll be more like late tomorrow night. I'm not putting too much stock into anything about her right now because, in my own very unmet opinion...I don't think the 11am update has her coordinates quite right. I think she's about .6 degrees further north and about .5 or .6 degrees further west. I'm also not completely convinced on the WNW movement either.

Who knows though...could just be that my eyes have had enough already with being up half the night looking at all the data I could get my hands on.

I just hope the UKMET doesn't pan out....especially if she's a little further west like my eyes see she is. We don't need another storm...tropical or otherwise to even sniff anywhere near the Gulf.
