Although I don't wish any storm on any area, I hope it doesn't take a sharp right immediately after going through the FL. straights (if it does) and track up the West Coast of FL. I realize that this is highly unlikely but after watching how Ophelia battered the NC coast, it doesn't paint a very pretty picture especially since our coast would be on the North and east sides.

After going down in recent days it looks like the price of crude oil will go up again as this system enters the gulf.

TRACK VERY UNCERTIAN?
I THINK IF THE NW BAHAMAS ARE UNDER A HURRICANE WATCH I THINK ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOUTH FLORIDA IS UNDER HURRICANE WATCH? INFACT I THINK IT ALL DEPENDS HOW LONG IT CONTINUES MOVING WNW ? EXACTLY WHEN IT MAKES THAT BEND TO THE WEST IS THE KEY?? OPINIONS!

This loop shows this new convection's continued growth more clearly.

A track anywhere close to the Central Western GOM coast would cause mass panic right now.

Because the NHC is looking at the globals and basing its track from it.......the models you are seeing are pretty much worthless above 20N...to quote a local MET.....

the clipper and lbar are worthless statistical models, the BAM models are only slightly better, xtrap is just its current track extended forward in time.

I see it also at 20n 55W. Never noticed it before you pointed it out.
