That track is pretty hard to believe, but the way this season has gone, who knows?

Funny how their best tropical met, Joe Bastardi, is putting out something entirely different. He called for formation and a hit in his landfall zone 3 (Boothville to Apalachacola) back on Monday or Tuesday when most were screaming frontal low and whatever. He maintains his previous position tonight. Give Joe some credit for nailing the BOC/Gulf from early last week as the place to look given the overall pattern.

He needs to just ditch Accuweather and go private. They're like the rest of the generic sources.

They're afraid to put a circle as a projected path like NHC practically did.

I bet most of the mets along the gulf coast tonight are basically throwing their hands up in the air with a confused face :lol:

It's interesting that the official AccuWeather track is opposite from what JB was saying. Actually, I like that track, though I think it is probably too slow. The track isn't too far off from the GFDL, and close to the UKMET. The GFDL may not be too bad, moving Larry inland in about 72 hrs.

How is it wrong? While I'm in the EAST bandwagon, you can't really rule out a Mexican landfall.. not by a longshot.
