The "no north turns this time of year" is shot.

:lol:

I've heard people say the gulf, based on climatology, needs to be most worried. Seems to me that Cape Hatteras and Savannah need to be most worried based on that.

Of course, once a storm actually spins up, you need to deal with conditions at the time. Climatology as your sole forecasting criteria is useless.

Almost odd that only one made it into the GOM. Hmmm, interesting.

I looked at that map! Seems unlikely based on historical data that a storm will go WNW from NE of the Islands all the way to Texas! Just doesn't happen that often! We will see, if those models start moving slowly N I would say watch out SFL!

the pattern is completely different this time though. This one has a slim to none shot of taking a turn north like the others did.

As the storm moves, these climate maps change also. If this is really south of FL on Sunday, then you will see many past storms working into the Gulf from that position.

Well when you're two miles from the gulf, then yeah, it's more likely to get into the gulf.

The further along the path, THE MORE LIKELY IT MOVES OUT TO SEA, based on the previous map....

Looks like if it hits Florida SE Florida is climatalogically favored.
