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

As someone suggested, the GFDL track has indeed shifted north http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfdltc2.c...;hour=Animation
On the other hand, how much faith can you place in a model that has Ike at hurricane strength over MO in 168 hours?
Gonna come as a real shock when the Hurricane Watch is posted there!
