Given its current structure its hard to believe this becoming at Cat 2 or even a Cat 1... but that's why I don't work for the NHC.
As I said in the other post - late season storms always come from the SW not the E, so this is a very odd track but the models all agree. Being sub-tropical the TS wind field is massive, the NHC has it 275 out from the center (all to the E right now). If accurate this means the nearly the whole E coast of FL will get TS winds. So our trailer in St James City got flooded now our condo in Vero is going to get it... UGH.
