Can anybody confirn this?

I have been watching this forum for quite a long time. There is so much good info (generally). I felt compelled to write tonight because I noticed a possible change in the "official" projected path. Look on the floater loop with the projected path superimposed on it. It takes Ivan through the Yucatan Channel just clipping the east coast of the Yucatan and out into the gulf toward the 90 meridian as a cat 4. This would change things quite a bit for us in the NO area. I have tried to confirm this elsewhere but could not. Can anyone out there do so?

I found this on another weather board...thanks.

As of before the the eclipse period where we get no sat. transmissions, Ivan was on track, if not a smidge north. The track still takes it through the western part of cuba.
Ivan is predicted to emerge from cuba east of 85w. That info from the other board is not ver accurate. They might have been basing that off a model, not a forecast track, especially not an "official" one as he put it.

i can confirm that that track is not based on any legit tropical model or official forecast.
