These model outputs suggest that South Florida is
in for landfall.

Actually only the BAMM and BAMD have it that far north. The LBAR has it landing in northern Dade County somewhere.

Ahh..crap. That's what I get for eyeing it. The 12Z Euro is almost exactly the same as the LBAR, maybe a hair north.

The GFDL is dead on this one. This is a Carolina event.

LOL...fighting over who's getting it? What is that...wishfighting?

Honestly, I'd hate for either FL or NC/SC to get this. I don't want it either, obviously.

But I wish there was some kind of miracle to get this thing turning north and moving parallel but far enough away from the EC of the peninsula, then curving NE enough and miraculously back out to sea without hitting the US.

Hey...it's my wishcast and I'll call it if I want to! :D
