Skeetobite, your maps are the best!!! However, if you plot the 60 hour point at 26.7 and 79.8 you will see the landfall point is near WPB/Jupiter not near Ft. Pierce. I guess your program can only plot the 48 and 72 hour plots? The line would then be curved and not straight from the Bahamas to Ft. Pierce. I am not trying to be picky and know the storm is not a point, but what I am trying to say is that landfall currently by the NHC track is really quite a bit south as what the 48 and 72 hour straight line plots show. I just want to make sure people south in the WPB area know this.

You are correct. Limitations of the software.

The issue is the straight lines from coordinate to coordinate. One can imagine that the line in this image would "droop" southward since these storms do not move point to point and turn abruptly. Hopefully the image below will help.
