What's to debate?
It's not going to come too far West at all.
It's doing a circle turn and will be off toward the NNW.

It is more exciting to think it's coming to Cape Canaveral however isn't it....

Per Wxwatcher2: It's doing a circle turn and will be off toward the NNW.

Well yea eventually she will, But I don't see anyone else predicting that to occur as quickly as your post infers. Do you know somwthing the rest of us don't? Please share. Thanks.

And you know this, how?

It never ceases to amaze me how many people on web boards "know" things that can't be known. We're talking about a track difference of a couple hundred miles to the west in order to impact Florida, and the storm is still more than 72 hours out from its brush with Florida. And the models keep trending west. Just suck it up and admit that nobody knows where this baby is going. Current thought is that it'll turn north as it approaches Florida, but there isn't a single forecaster at the entire NHC who would give you anything near an assurance that this storm will not impact or landfall in Florida.

Of course, I'm not saying it will, I'm just saying "lets not rule things out that can't be ruled out yet."

I'm not so convinced she's quite done with the southward component of her movement yet ... sure looks to me like the ridge is still pressing southward over her ...

I doubt she gets all the way down to 25N, but she might get close, say 25.2 or 25.3.

What's the reasoning behind that statement?? Why can't it get to 25,or even 24.5?

Thanks for the help
