Well 12z Euro is dead on 12z HWRFs track for a Miami hit in 72 hours - but I'm with ya, HWRF always seems to overdo intensity.
Let's see how the gfs does on the next run and really what the NHC says in the disco because if there is something to the hwrf and euro they will say it. I would never completely throw out the hwrf because it does have a few wins and then with euro support it needs to be taken seriously even the euro has been far from a king recently. Also, the track the system is taking is far from ideal for producing a landfilling hurricane in southeast florida.
The NHC mentioned the eastern models but didn't move the track which isn't surprising as they would need to see more plus they have the gfs coming up and of course you can never ignore the real weather that is actually happening. 20% chance euro and hwrf verify for a SE Florida hit which is a little higher than I had it earlier this afternoon.
They said there were very minor adjustments to track. Which is interesting as they do note how one set of models shows a peninsula strike and the others don’t
***The track
guidance becomes a bit divergent during this time, with the ECMWF,
Canadian, and HWRF models showing a track near or over the Florida
Peninsula, while the GFS, UKMET, and HMON models show the center
passing south and west of the Florida Keys, followed by a more
northward motion over the Gulf of Mexico. The new forecast track
is between these extremes, and it has only minor adjustments from
the previous NHC track.***
