Does that GFDL keep it west? I see its basically parallel to the FL coastline... and seems like a decent sized storm too!

Looks like it keeps it west. My question is.. how strong will it be as it approaches if it decides to come this way..?

I don't see the difference with this model and reading the story of the three little pigs.

doubt it very strongly now. Still have significant shear over the system and it's still a disorganized depression, two days later. Hugo was 134mb at landfall in Chas,SC. The chances of this TD6 being that strong by Friday is less than 5 percent. GFDL allways overestimates intensity, especially in El-Nino type conditions. My best estimate by Friday is about 60mph, if it organizes at all by then.

I'd think it would be a slow developer but once the shear eases off then ther eis no reason to suggest that it can't become at the least a cat-1/2, afterall it was Irene that had so many problems last year in this sort of area yet still came out of it as a decent hurricane.
