So there are no FL watches/warnings that we thought we'd see at 5? Is the NHC now hedging on a FL landfall?




Probably not close enough yet.
Quoted from:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/box/hurdef.html

"Hurricane watch: An announcement for specific areas that a hurricane or hurricane conditions pose a possible threat to coastal areas generally within 36 hours. In New England, due to the rapid acceleration of most of our hurricanes, it is a necessity that you take action during the watch."

It is still at least 48 hours out...
