Re: intensity forecasts for Ike will be a crap shoot

This appears to be a clear shift in the movement of IKE to the NW. On the current track it would be just off the northern coast of Cuba by about 60-80 miles at its closest point to Cuba as it heads to the Florida Straits. There must have been a weakness in the ridge to the north.
