I totally agree. I think even maybe a hair south of Miami, just skimming the lower part of the FLA peninsula, coming out south of Everglades City, and still a lot of warm water feeding it from the south the entire trip over the peninsula.

Whoever pegged the baro at 980-985 earlier, got it almost on the nose.

So...this one is definitely going to make landfall before midnight.

I think the divergence in the models in the GOM is interesting and 2-3 days from now we're all going to be glued to flhurricane.com!
