But the reality is that is the forecast

It's an either or...she goes west until something pulls her north
or..
She intensifies enough to feel the pull to the north and moves towards Florida and then we see how far off shore she stays and if she curves out to sea and parallels the coast or slams into the Carolinas... or moves up Florida like Cleo.

It's really an either or depending on if she is finally stacked correctly and if we are tracking the low level swirl or her mid level swirl.... she's not perfectly aligned.

I can see.... her getting into the Bahamas (taking north path obviously) and suddenly finding her groove over the Gulf Stream
