Apparently recon did find an eye forming. From the regarding entry L in the recon reports:
"If the eye is not at least 50% surrounded by a wall cloud, this item and Item M will be reported as 'NA' (Not Applicable)."

looking at the system as a whole, you can expect a more westerly component, if the shape of the entire system is a clue to it's direction, which is usually the case, isn't it?
look for a sharper turn west that one might have realized...
the further south...the bigger the danger to all residents that might be affected in the GOM

I don't get it!!! The cloud tops have warmed considerably during the past 6 hours. How is the pressure falling? Those -70/-80 tops are gone. Looks like possibly multiple centers. She is not that impressive to me right now, and she APPEARS to be booking to the NW. Maybe just a big gullywasher for the SE Florida coast?? This will get sorted out I hope at 5pm. Unless this begins to re-fire she ain't gonna make a strong TS before landfall. Praise God!!

12Z runs are on the site. Don't buy into it but it shows the system slowing down, intensifying, then crossing the southern tip of Florida into the Gulf. Not a pretty scenario. Believe we'll have a much better handle on the system once the models have digested the data sets from the Hurricane Hunter Recon and NOAA Gulfstream flights.

In addition to the track forecast, it'll be interesting to see the intensity forecast on the next update. The 12Z really explodes the system starting tomorrow, but its track is slower and further south than most of the models I have seen (with the exception of the ) and it actually passes over the Keys, so the center never really has to deal with land in that model solution until it hits the FL Gulf Coast at 120 hours. The SHIPS is more conservative but still brings it up to hurricane strength at 36 hours before the forecast landfall.
While the center of the system is now well-embedded in the overall convection, there appears to be some dry air that it needs to work out of its system before having an opportunity to rapidly intensify.

Someone earlier had mentioned their prediction of it landing 20-50 miles more north than prediction. Anybody have any more ideas on that?

If the new position is at 25.8/77.1, the storm would have to make a hard left turn due west right now to come ashore at 26.1/80.1 where they had it going in at as of 11 a.m.
Needs .3 N but 3.0 W to make the landfall at 26.1/80.1(based on 11 a.m.).
I guess the track will be moving north for sure.

NW at 9 means it is going faster and will move up the time it hits land.
Also they have it faster out in the gulf not much track change;

While the doomsday scenario of the 12Z is unlikely, it does seem to indicate that conditions will be favorable for significant strengthening if the system can spend a sufficient amount of time over water. The scenario where the system gets hung up near or over the peninsula would be bad news as far as heavy rain is concerned, but would potentially save someone from having to deal with a landfalling major hurricane at some point.
