That's what I think too. They will probably not change it or only slightly change it at 11am, and then possibly change it more east or west at 5am depending on what the 0z models do.TampaFl wrote:EWG, with the GFDL shifting slighty west on the latest run, do you think the other dynamical models will follow?. IMHO I think the NHC will leave the track basiclly the same for the 11PM package. Now 5:00AM Sunday may show a change. Time will tell.

Unfavorable conditions maybe?
even the discussion said that they have no idea why the models didn't strengthen it any further as the NHC can't see any factors that will inhibit strengthening

Eh, it looks like it's on the projected path [maybe even slightly north] at this point to me...
So, in 12 hours, it was projected to go .9N and 1.7W and it has moved .6N and .6W....
