18z ETA continues westward trend

With every run the models are trending more west. The 18z run poses a significant threat to south florida.....If the synoptic pattern plays out Jeanne will move over florida as the strong ridge to the north remains in place for the next 3-4 days. It's looking more and more like that south/central florida will once again be dealing with a hurricane.

When you say "move over" FL, are you saying the ridge will push Jeanne into the GOM?

I know that it is only the ETA model but it seems to me that not only the ETA but all the other models keep on trending more and more towards the west. I am anxiously waiting for the 00Z models later on tonight to see if this westward trend continues or comes to a halt.
