That track does seem to reflect the 5am discussion...unfortunately.
Looking at a couple model and WV loops this morning doesn't give me much confidence in the SE US ridge causing a more northward direction any time soon.

Could someone explain the significance of concentric eyewalls?
Does it affect intensity only?


VERY intense hurricane, 'healthy' and changing rapidly, possibly upward. The OUTER wall is the strongest according to the 5am NCH release I just received E-mail. If you are *anywhere* within the projected center 35 miles (or so) of center, consider evacuation unless you are well away from the ocean or bodies of water. Certainly, prepare for the worst as it will likely remain a III or low IV even in places well inland, such as Orlando.
