Hanna is fighting, on wv imagery her core looks better though she still has a rather strange presentation. Not so much her but the flow around her.

As for Ike he is moving more west than previously and on the above referenced water vapor loop he might even be a smidgen south of his forecasted point.

If you look at the high to the north of him and even to his nw you can see where he could start moving wsw as the NHC has forecasted. Not that we don't trust them, we do but when we see it happening and why it makes us nod and look further down the line at his track.

The ships model takes him all the way to the Florida coastline, models change but still it's not an easy graphic to look at especially if you live in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale which I do. But... still it can change.

I think that is what we have to think on now... what if scenarios, what do to prepare and wait and see where the cone narrows.

Ike looks amazing. His eye is wide open and very white inside.

We'll see. Cantore on TWC tonight was talking on possibilities of "what ifs" Ike gets into the Gulf. Perhaps a long shot but we'll see where the models take it tomorrow. Just remember they are models and the NHC track is the bottom line, they are doing a great job this season in a year with so many landfalls.
