Ivan will most likely stay south of the track

According to the NHC, Ivan will most likely take the southern route of the track. To me, it looks like the GOM is the biggest threat. It may go more toward Cuba or Jamaica, than the DR. I hope and pray that it does not go near Florida. My opinion is the gulf coast seems more likely. Anywhere from Texas to the Panhandle needs to watch. Comments are welcome.

Meaning any error is likely to be to the Southern half of the cone? Source?

I could be wrong but maybe she meant to say TWC instead of NHC. I heard them say that on TWC.

This could mean a bigger threat to the central Gulf coast next week.

Quite possible, Opal. I think central gulf coast should pay attention.

Time to be reviewing evacuation routes. The interstates in this area have a lot of work currently going on - barrels everywhere! Not a bad time to stock up on plywood for windows, just in case. After what we saw in South Florida this past week, I know not everyone in town can go shopping for these things at once and expect there to be supplies left.

Yes, the TWC did say that. Sucks for us. But if it keeps away from the peninsula, there has to be some good to be found in that, right? They surely cant handle another one. It's logistically impossible.

I see this rolling through the Caribbean, then becoming a GOM threat next weekend. I was thinking since last night that potentially we would see this possibility.
