"lit[tl]e possibility for a turn toward florida by now"

I don't know about that one. Yes, the odds are against it, but with a storm whose intensity is very much in the air and several of the tropical models now pointing towards Florida, I wouldn't bet too much against a weak storm making its way in the general direction of the Bahamas and Florida. (Of course, reaching either of them is an additional step away.)

Again, it's not the most likely scenario, but it's still days too early to discount the possibility.

(And technically, it wouldn't really be a "turn toward Florida," but rather a failure to turn away from Florida.)
