It looks like Isaac has almost ground to a halt though that could be my eyes playing tricks on me. Also appears to be wobbling almost due north during this immense slowdown? I hope Haiti comes out of this okay because there are few worse places to be than in a strengthening tropical system as it plods over you.

With this new track at 11pm,he will spend very little time over Cuba.That could mean a lot as far as intensification.

Yeah, that would be unusual. Interesting with this batch of moisture that got pushed ahead of the storm. Going to be interesting navigating around here this weekend with all the flooding that will go on.
At least I hope this is not going to be another Andrew, once in a life time is enough.

0Z Run (8PM initialization), started outputting at 11:30
Initialized with 1001mb (too high)
Landfall near Key Largo in the Keys, 5PM Sunday, staying in Florida bay to just offshore Marco Island (Southwest Florida)
Offshore Sarasota about 60 miles Monday morning, then moving toward 100 miles away from St. Pete.
It's moving quite a bit slower this run.
Landfall between Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach Tuesday Night. The starts to slowly drift inland and over southern Georgia.

Issac looks like it might very well try to stair step its way through the passage between Cuba and Haiti. I see no reason right now to stray from my thinking of Keywest NNW 40 miles offshore then into big bend, time will tell.

I have the eye pegged at 19.1N 73.1W. That is a bit east of the forecast track. Anyone disagree?

Right now, Isaac needs to start turning left or by the time the 8 am advisory comes out, he's not going to spend any time over Cuba, if it all.

Looks like we have a low level COC at 19.6N 73.6W and a mid level at 19.1N 73.1W. Anyone disagree. The low level COC looks like it is tracking pretty close to the track. Also take a look at the .

Doesn't look at all decoupled? I don't know what you are seeing there that would suggest that the MLC is displaced from the LLC that much, if at all right now. It looks pretty vigorous and healthy at the moment.

A Cape Verde crossing Martinique
Then coming up under
Hispaniola
Then taking the 'easiest' route
thru the Windward Passage
Then moving into the Atlantic
Then just offshore the length
of Cuba to the Florida Straits
Then into the GOM
Then up to Tallahassee
as a
Hurricane.
The odds are greater than putting
a CAT 4 over the Statue of Liberty.
And yet the has called this from
the beginning.
Never say Never, but it'll be a while before
you see this again....
Closest analog is 1998 George and
George went over PR And the spine
of Hispaniola.

Isaac's already a bit east of the 6z model runs today, and appears it won't be over Cuba for long at all, the surface trough over the keys now is keeping it sheared a bit on the west, and the mountains over Haiti are keeping it down on the right (but not tearing it up if Isaac were to go right over it)
In short it may be closer to the east side of the cone, which brings it closer toward S. Florida, albiet a bit capped in strengthening at least until it clears the islands a bit more.

Over the past few hours (4+) the track seems to have been more northerly (maybe 340°) than the last position/direction estimates indicate.

I agree with Mike's assessment and Isaac seems to be going to cut across the NE most part of the island. That means more water time as it ambles NW'd. I think the intensity forecasts will adjust, perhaps upward, once this unsettled period abates and the storm is able to perform consistently for 6-8 hours. I am not convinced it will not be able to achieve the margins of cat I-II at its peak, so a 90+ peak is possible IMO.

Definitley a more northward component than predicted at the 08:00 EDT update. Be interesting how the track shifts at the 11:00 EDT update.
