TD10: I'd say some steady intensification through tomorrow followed by a major outbreak after Cuba. The system should also be moving slowly NW and eventually N when it does deepen rapidly. Hope people in Florida stay informed on this one. Early feeling: Nearing west Cuba late Wednesday with 65-70 mile per hour winds. Moves NW a little longer but bombs big time. Winds increase to around 90 miles per hour as the system turns north while moving in tandem with Florida West Coast. Should eventually get turned NE across peninsula. What concerns me is the possibility of the center staying just offshore and intensifying before coming inland. Summed up: A 80-90 knot storm approaching Florida WC and moving north Friday morning. Once the storm gets near Cuba should resemble similarities to Michelle. Except this time the Florida threat is for real. Of course, this is long-term thinking and may change for better or for worse.
