**that sound you just heard was me dropping my cup of coffee** im sure this will change...but the Euro is showing something similiar just furth north toward Ft. Myers/Tampa...can't wait to see the 12z run of the Euro model. Both models have been saying FL and them along with the GFDL. Hmm.

Tes. It turns it NE right after this - (out to 114 hours now)



Is this bad news for the Florida West Coast?


It's bad news for someone in Florida... maybe South Florida and the Keys...

That GFS run doesn't bode well for the GT-Miami game Saturday.

And wouldn't you know, I used Priceline to reserve my hotel room so if they cancel the game I'm out $50. :grr:

Yes I know it's one model run and they can shift over the next couple of days, but that one is just :eek: for us - we'd be on the nasty side of things.

Funny, I read that the opposite way: he was tempted to go with the GFS/GFDL, but held off for the sake of continuity and because they were initialized a bit too far north.


He said: " WHILE IT IS
TEMPTING TO ADJUST THE TRACK TO THE RIGHT BASED ON THE RECENT
CHANGES WITH THE GFS AND GFDL MODELS...THE FACT THAT THE 6Z RUNS OF
BOTH MODELS WERE INITIALIZED A BIT TOO FAR NORTH MAY MEAN THAT THEY
ARE TOO FAST WITH THE RECURVATURE SCENARIO. FOR NOW...I HAVE MADE
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OFFICIAL FORECAST."

To me this indicated he wasn't sure their tracks were quite accurate at that point. But you are far more experienced at this than I am, so I might have misinterpreted this.

I say it is a good trend for FL not for Cuba. The longer Wilma hangs out w/o moving N the better the chance it will move NE and miss FL, not Cuba obviously. Hopefully the models will continue trending East. Most of the time it's a good thing for the models to be over your location 5 days out. The path over Cuba through the straits and avoiding FL is a common path for storms of the past. I was much more nervous when the models were putting Wilma N of the Yucatan wondering around waiting for kick to the east.
