Florida straits and into the Gulf of Mexico? Probably not but the west shifts are pretty pronounced.

i think the movement the next 24-48 hours is key. It it takes on a W-SW tilt, then we need to raise the flags here in Florida.

IMO, there is a break point with these S adjustments coming soon as the models close in on 120 hours. A westward bound system landafalling between Melbourne Florida and GA/SC line is extremely rare, I lean Euro, and it's targetting SC, so either we see future Euro runs continue trending NC/SC area or if the S adjustments continue SFL will be in play. JMHO only!

Also all of the models have a pretty significant recurve near the coast. To get to Florida it basically has to be not only south, but also recurve further west. They are of course linked ( a stonger ridge would probably extend further west as well).

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
What exactly are the models saying there to prevent the ridge from just keeping Florence on a due west track like Andrew? Why can't the UKMet model of the other day with a straight track to south florida verify? The parallels are kind of spooky with 1992. Strong Pacific hurricane season back then, slow Atlantic, Hurricane Iniki. Andrew getting sheared and shredded and then west track to South Florida.
This year we have strong Pacific hurricane season, slow Atlantic, Hurricane Lane. Florence getting sheared and shredded and now a west track to ?????

I think it has to do with how the models see the ridge orienting itself. The ridge seems to build in and allow for Florence to slide WNW-NW around it’s periphery. Otherwise a ridge that was oriented more east to west would continue Florence on a westerly track.

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
The NHC does not let Flo go below 24.9 - I think this will be a good benchmark to see if that verifies

If it develops it would have to right? Wouldn’t the outflow act to shear Florence? And I would think it would create some kind of weakness in the ridge for Florence to move towards..but I’m really not sure how the models are going to handle it. It seems our complex steering pattern just got a little more complex.

Yep the model keep shifting south with slightly more ridging each run lately it seems. I have seen this story before....

Yep, will be interesting to see what happens with it and what the pros here think.
