18Z GFS at 138 hours ... slightly deeper, crossing western tip of Cuba.

EDIT: Keep in mind, GFS is a global, mot a tropical model. It doesn't do mesoscale convection at all, rather depending on parameterization. That means you can't rely on it getting intensity even remotely right.

That looks like an Irene-type track... only much stronger.

I think we will have a major before then to be honest. 5 days max. Not sure GFDL has the speed and evolution spot on.

Of course.

I really do think this is a Florida peninsula threat, though. But that could be SFL, or substantially further north.

i agree, i think this is an eastern gulf threat, not sure yet if panhandle or peninsula threat, its REALLY early on, but its fun to guess right now

No offense but it seems you have a bias for every storm to be a Panhandle threat. This looks either a Central America Yucatan threat or a Cuba/S FL threat. It all depends on the trough.

i hope it starts to turn it away from me :eek:

Ditto! We still have our chimney sitting on the roof above our master bath and the hole covered by plywood and tar paper! If anything above a thundershower comes this way they're going to have to put me on tranquilizers! The only roofers who've come have given us totally ourtageous estimates and we're on 3 lists for estimates right now. I don't want to wish a storm on anyone, but please not here!

-Baygirl, who's watching very closely now...

Well, it's showing a hurricane hitting Miami from the SW. Doesn't show a major, but as I said earlier the GFS doesn't model mesoscale cyclone dynamics at all so intensity is generally way off.
