It looks like the center of Fay that is shown on the SWMD Recon site is farther south than the forcast track. If the NW then N turn still occur as the track predicts, this would mean a more northern landfall than the forcast.

Here is the link if the image isn't seen.

Um....

I'm kinda confused..the RECON site shows it more south then the plots, what are the chances of this storm being able to curve upward at us, but due to the warm water it is in (according to RECON) can it strengthen to a Cat 2 and then hit us? I'm so confused and new at this hurricane stuff. Why would the lines be farther north, but RECON found it farther south?
