Just an FYI...The model site has zoomed into and Florida now... It is much, much easier to see the models and their track overlay on the state.

NHC will adjust again slightly more W...the is their model of choice...especially in the short term..and when its target is S florida....I wouldnt say they are wishcasting though.... anyways the did go slightly west...about 25 miles...
Some (a few posts back) said that info isnt going into the cause of no recon flights....thats not really true... as recon will sample the air around the storm...and Im sure has over the Bahamas...but more data will go into the OZ runs tonight.....I agree with the Viper model as it is almost as accurate as the ..along side the .

Between 5pm and 8pm moved .1N and .5W an obvious westward jog. Looks like is losing the influence of the ULL to its north west and is gaining the influence of steering from the ridge over the SE.
Likely track shift west at 11pm. Also, dry air and shear look to be a problem for any intensification once back over water, per the latest CIMSS wind shear map.

One thing that we have not really had is a chance for a full circle sampling of this storm. There has always been at least one quad obstructed. As he gets a little further away from Cuba, having a good 360 degree sampling of the environment will be very helpful.

Scott -- I picked this out of the 8:00pm advisory:
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS HAS BEEN MOVING TOWARD THE
WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 11 MPH...19 KM/HR. HOWEVER...A NORTHWESTWARD
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO RESUME LATER TONIGHT...WHICH WOULD TAKE THE
CENTER OF CIRCULATION OFF THE NORTH COAST OF CUBA INTO THE ATLANTIC
DURING THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS.
If is just coming off the coast -- and it appears that he is -- will this WNW motion allow for those models to verify?

I don't believe VIPER is anywhere near as accurate as or the . I personally wouldn't trust a model run by a news station right about now. I highly doubt that the forecast track will change significantly in 24-48 hours. To make the assumption that will shift its track is probably not the best one, because EOCs all over the state are depending on them, and pressure is on at the center.

It's finally up. They must be just running slow.

Hello Everyone Again! I was hoping not to pay you all a visit this season... Guess that was wishful thinking.
Anyway, do you guys have a link to the track you're talking about? I would like to see how close they are saying it's going to get to me.
Thanks!

That is exactly why they WILL shift their track if it is necessary and foreseen. Right now the track is east of almost all the models. They will have to justify that if they do not adjust it correctly.

The Weather channel just said not to be surprised if the cone shifted left again. Then he repeated the "it may shift left" again part.
I'm gonna go out on a limb, well maybe not so far out on a limb as of now the way the models look and say landfall at Marco Island. Similar to where made landfall last year.

The doesn't just make decisions off of forecast models. You must understand this. There are tens (if not hundreds) of different dynamic variables involved in the official forecasts. Like I believe Colleen A. said a while back, they are privileged to a lot more information than the general public, so I would think they will justify their decisions in the next forecast package. Just stick tight.

In an attempt to clear up any confusion about , it is not a model. ® stands for(Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar). Those who are interested can read about it at http://www.baronservices.com/solutions/broadcast/display_solutions/vipir.php
Best wishes to all.

Usually the waits two runs before they make major changes unless they see something. This storm is one of the first I've seen them make so many swings so quickly. My guess is that they will move 50 +/- miles west and see what the trend is after recon info is inputed into the models.

Not a bad guess. I'm also going to say that I expect this thing to bomb upon exit. The water there is extremely warm, and there is no shear. Exibit A: The Labor Day Hurricane. Cat 1 to Cat V in 24 hours over the same waters. I am by no means saying that this will be a Cat V, but people still need to be aware of a possible major hurricane.

That was stated at 5am this morning, I believe. I think the possibility is still there, due to the hurricane watch still being issued. I think the hurricane center is afraid to instill panic, because that's harder to manage than concern.

I take issue with their 8pm forecast track -- they've got a "jog" in it now (if you compare it to the 5pm) and whether it's just compensating for no recon data from the airplane or what, I have a hard time believing it's NOT going to be shifted west again. If you run the graphics archive between the 5pm and 8pm, that little "jog" just doesn't make sense. It almost looks like it should be running with a more westerly track, like the models show.
Then again, an argument could be made to say it might make it's eastern curve sooner.
Ugh.
Glad I've got the boards up!

No kidding, look what did to us 2 years ago! After him, I know these storms can do ANYTHING now and nobody will know until it makes landfall how strong it will be.

Let me clear something up really quick before this place sets itself on fire  :
The will look at both the models and other information to form a "track". They put information INTO the computers, which then generate a track. You know what happens next. If the sees a trend in the models, i.e. shifting to the left or the right over several runs, they will most likely change the track.
Remember: almost every part of Florida is in the "cone of error" -- therefore, they will have room to shift it back to the left if they feel the need.
Okay. I hope that helps....
Now everyone go take a deep breath. We're all here for the same reason.
