Yo-yo GFS wish-casting again 12Z. Even though this model has cried wolf this season, occasionally GFS far-casting latches on to potential days in advance of other models. Given the rich history of late season TC's spinning up in the western Caribbean, crossing Cuba then impacting the FL Keys, S. FL and the northern Bahamas, any model's suggestion of any potential in this region has me monitoring each run like a hawk.

I still have "fond" memories of fighting Wilma's 80 mph wind gusts trying to secure/screw the remaining fields on the newly installed "tacked off" panels of the unfinished metal roof (from 2004 season damage)of my stilt house 1/2 mile from the Indian River near Titusville, watching gusts peel several of the panels off (nearly with me on them!) like opening a sardine can.
