Re: Track

Ok, the 18Z 96L model is out...and it is downright disturbing. 138kt hurricane from 96L just as it passes the southern tip of Florida.

The 12Z 17L model (18Z isn't out yet) shows 17L as a 126kt hurricane, though well out to sea.

Now I realize the GFDL isn't a great predictor of intensity, but frankly these two are disturbing. Anything that shows twin Cat 4 and Cat 5 storms...ack.

At least SHIPS isn't showing them that strong...only bringing both to about 100kt storms.
