Track forecast is a little left for the first 72 hours, but then shows a sharper north turn than previously indicated. Intensity is more aggressive given the recent jump to a Category Two, and I peak at 110kts, but weaken the storm before landfall--of course, if the storm stays farther south, it would probably be stronger than 100kts at landfall.
