The GFS, UKMET, and regional hurricane models all indicate significant deepening, and the NHC intensity forecast has been adjusted slightly upward. Although not explicitly shown, Laura could threaten the northwestern Gulf coast near major hurricane strength.

So it's essentially just for entertainment intensity-wise prior to recon data. I did notice it had more realistic forecasts with Gonzalo once the plane got out there.
I wouldn't say it's just for entertainment - it has been remarkably consistent with Laura's intensity forecast compared to the other models and if a major hurricane verifies in the Gulf, it would have been realistic from the get-go regardless of recon data - but the way people incorrectly use it, as zhukm29 points out, probably is for entertainment. I used to be a regular back on the sadly now-dead FLHurricane forums and hypecasting, model wars and frenetic model-watching were always the problem compared to the actual long-term trends of the models themselves.
I was there too (I believe as Rabbit) and migrated here once it started fading. Sad as that was my introduction to the online weather community.
Are the HWRF's intensity forecasts best disregarded for storms that are yet to have recon flights?

This southward track would reduce interaction with Cuba’s mountains and put it within an area of 30-31C SSTs, so while inflow will be blocked, it could have favorable enough conditions to bump its intensity up a bit before crossing the west tip of the island and moving into the Gulf.

As of now, I'm wild guessing the average of the two at landfall: 965 mb with a likely range of 955-975 mb.
Hey Larry, always good to hear from you. I agree with your landfall pressure estimates. But I think the system could be stronger since Marco is moving fast, so the time it has to upwell could be reduced. Laura will also be moving at a steady clip meaning it could spend less time over upwelled waters. We shall see. So far it's not looking good.

Love me some Larry. King, do you like that 955-975 range on a Texas landfall? Seems like 940’s could easily be in play.

We no ****. Haha. You were a good poster back then too. That was my go to site as well. John and Mike were and are awesome. Ed made things tough and enforced overly technical and serious discussion and left out the human part that which I suppose still existed in general talk. That destroyed interest and I know a lot of us followed Ticka and Cycloneye to here. I tried to back but found it hard to navigate and would get lost. :/

It looks like Laura is still moving north of due west. I just don’t see the NW movement.
