I have it moving inland near Apalachicola, FL late Sunday evening at 50 kts. Probably a better chance of moving inland farther west than farther east. Not too much farther west, though.

From about a week ago - Well Done Sir, well done.....again

[ElectricStorm]

Not too far away from landfall now. Should be in the next hour or two

Did he stick to his prediction when it was shifting west??

[tolakram]

Looks to be taking a right turn, or decoupling.

Creepy to see some of the trees still downed from Michael.

Unless Grace strengthens more than currently forecast we'll be into the G storm and latter half of August with just a small June Cat. 1 hurricane.

Unless Grace strengthens more than currently forecast we'll be into the G storm and latter half of August with just a small June Cat. 1 hurricane.

Henri not forecasted to become a hurricane and Grace forecasted to barely make hurricane status at 75 mph. Definitely the conditions are not great in the Atlantic basin, but it is only August 16th, so it’s not expected at this point.
