Ever so slightly north at 21 hours from the 18z position. But it's offshore.

I was saying it earlier I think the best thing is for that southern vort to hit land and dissipate to allow the more northern vort to take over.

Given the HWRF's track it could be initializing the vortex near St Croix earlier as the dominant one, as it shoots it NNW almost immediately at the start, and it's already south of that.

Re: ATL: ERIKA - Models
One thing to keep in mind is that the NHC saw the GFS and the other runs today and kept a Hurricane in the forecast. They would have easily pulled the plug but they know the conditions in the Bahamas are favorable if it gets its act together.

No offense, but I think Michael Brown might be able to assist your community. He does a heck of a job. Chertoff too. Just appoint people who don't believe in governmental solutions to run government, and your town will be fine just like mine was on September 1, 2005.

With the GFS run tonight, and the 12z Euro the three are in some form or fashion similar. If you want consensus and not splitting hairs, you're a happy camper with the result of the runs.

That's a pretty foolish thing to say. Always be prepared. You never know what has never happened before. If you don't prepare and get hit, you'll feel foolish. Better to be prepared and be wrong, than a fool and suggest others not to worry, and then be responsible for that. It's all perspective. Just be safe. You should have a kit ready anyway.
