The following post is NOT an official forecast and should not be used as such. It is just the opinion of the poster and may or may not be backed by sound meteorological data. It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.

I am getting concerned. IMO with this thing over water for 2-3 days
it could really strenghten given decreasing shear, warm gulf stream,
and a general favorable environment. I say at least a minimal
hurricane before landfall. Perhaps up to 85 mph. Steering currents
appear to me simply too weak to push this thing anywhere anytime
soon. Also look at how quickly Nate exploded into a very well-defined
system. It was barely TD yesterday at same time.
Looks like this could strenghten quite a bit.

Hurricane watches going up late tomorrow for FL East coast would
not surprise me. LOOK at the conditions it is in. Simply insane 2005 rolls
on and on...

As for path- I really can't say anything definite, but
Anywhere from S. FLorida to the Carolinas needs to watch this VERY
CLOSELY.

its only slowly organizing. Seening no signs of any bombing or anything like that

center does appear to be reforming a bit farther to the north as well

Yea no bombing just yet but with it staying over that hot water for more than 1.5 days I think we will have a hurricane easily.

Indeed it is larger in size, but thankfully not in intensity.

I think a cat 2 is not out of the question....as it drifts NW its in water not churned up by tropical systems this season...full of energy, possibly some of the atlantic basins warmest heat source...lessening shear...maybe a 100-105mph storm....SIGNIFICANT by JAX standards!

I agree. It's certainly not out of the question. This system has my undivided attention now.

I dunno. Convection north of the center (and over it) is becoming more concentrated, but moisture around the periphery of the storm is decreasing. Right now maybe some slow strenthening, but I'm not overly impressed until I can center a defined circulation center.
