This hurricane will be quite large in diameter...we could really use one of s maps to overlay the current size in the GOM. I think many of us will unexpectedly feel the effects of this sucker.

I don't think anyone is wishcasting or fearcasting. I just think we're seeing something; we might be right, we might be wrong. We're just talking about it, that's all.

To me it seems clear that the dynamics to north are changing very quickly.

The 11PM discussion is coming soon. I wonder if the will address the "apparent" NW "jog".
my bet is that they'll adjust the track to a 305 or 310 degree heading which is a change from the 295 deg heading discussed during the 5 PM update. Still think it's too early to see if this affects long-term track

I know...it just seems that some are really stretching to get this thing to turn north...There is just no evidence of that at this time. Like I said, it may have jogged north, but has now jogged back west. I agree with Tropics Guy that it aqppears an eye is starting to show it's ugly head and is moving WNW. We shall see soon. Regardless, by the time we wake in the morning, an eye will have probably formed and the speculation on movement can end.

If it stays on it's current track,it woud hit the middle keys.And there is some info that suggest it could be a little east of that.So South Fl. is far from being out of the woods.
If the current track pans out, only the lower keys will see tropical force winds as it brushes by, though any deviation to the north would change the scenario.

I think it is important to note,that and went just south of Jamica.Also Earl.And we know where they ended up.So if goes just north of Jamica.................Well that is just one of many reasons I am not writing off south Florida.

I think a slight turn to the northwest has occurred from earlier this afternoon..this may be due to the expanding convection or slight weakening in the ridge. The slight turn was picked up on by most of the models as they have the storm moving between Hispanola and Jamaica. As i said B4, its way too early to say its movin more toward the FL peninsula - to me, it's about right on track with the model guidance

A statement here from Accuweather regarding the models
"The North American Regional model (NAM) takes into south Florida early Saturday morning and the Canadian model shows hugging the west coast of Florida then moving northward. These two models seemed to catch the strength of the Atlantic ridge at times much better than other computer models. So, we can't discount these solutions just yet."
Much of the western Florida coast remains in the cone of uncertainty as of 5pm, so i am not ready to write it off either.

Now that I can agree with. Very close to the 18Z and UKMET.

Here is the closest we can get to rendering the current "apparent" size of this entire system. We did an overlay of the latest satellite image and drew our circle to the farthest extent of the feeder bands.
Keep in mind that the official data indicates that at 5pm est the tropical storm force winds extended 105 miles from center (much less than half this total area) and that hurricane force winds extended just 25 miles from center.

Also if you look at the projected path,Jamica is right in the middle,soooooooo if he goes just to the north of Jamica they will have to shift everything east.

Everyone has their opinion on where its going. Some insist it will go to where they live ( although they say , they dont want it). Its ok for them to say what they want, as long as they dont say things like " I heard a met say that Miami will be hit forsure" There are people browsing this forum who never post and just check updates. We dont want to scare anyone.
Every year we get a new person or 2 that will say its coming their way, no matter if its only a wobble on a sat view or they miss interpeted something they heard.
To know the best forecasters in here are the guys who post the blogs. There are others though who are also good interpeters of the weather.
