The 06 GFS has a strong storm moving through Florida Keys and then...moving NNE impacting Florida from the South, then makes a second strong landfall in what looks like North Carolina

I'm pretty sure the actual wave axis is a bit behind that area of convection, although I'm basing that more on extrapolation from yesterday than on anything I see in the sat pictures this morning.

I can't find the center of the wave mostly off the coast. The next one inland has a spin and center but is too high in latitude to be the one the models are showing.
