Like it or not the Canadian has probably been as accurate as any other model to date with Ivan, it has always been the western outlier, but Ivan has been following the left side of the forecast track for days... maybe the Canadian is on to something..... last Tuesday it basically said New Orleans.... then during the week it shifted east, but not as much as the others, and the last several runs takes it to back SE LA and MS.... I don't buy that scenario yet, as I still think it will be the western panhandle... but its something that you still have to consider.... 96 hours out here's the poop.... literally..
