Since the Panhandle is now in the NHC forecast cone. This statement below is a premature one. With the hard right turn called for, this should be watched in the northern half of the State. Not guaranteed to affect the state, but it is a possibility.

The "cone" that dem05 is refering to is the "Potential 4-5 day Track Area".
The "cone" has a very wide mileage error rate at 4-5 days.
...EXTENDED OUTLOOK.
NOTE...ERRORS FOR TRACK HAVE AVERAGED NEAR 250 NM ON DAY 4 AND 325 NM ON DAY 5...AND FOR INTENSITY NEAR 20 KT EACH DAY.
