I'm having fun reading some of the posts so far.
"OH PLEASE PLEASE DROP THE UNANIMOUS MODEL CONSENSUS AND COME UP MY DOORSTEP!!"
I'm just kidding everything this far out is hard to guess at. But generally The NHC is very good at forecasting recurvature and if all model guidance supports the same idea, it's almost good to take it to Vegas.
Of course Center reformations and the like change a storm's path...alot of water for this to travel and who knows, maybe even another surprise ULL will pop up and shear this girl to death.
But in all seriousness I think everyone living on the East Coast of Florida can pretty much rest easy at this point. The probabilities of landfall for them are rather dismal, and probably gonna stay that way.
(But just in case, remember I said probably)

Very true boca, with little exception, after Ernesto, I don't give much credence in those models. Let's just wait and see.

Yea, but people rely way too much on model guidance. Uh Oh....now I'm going to get slammed with "yea, but this is a totally different scenario".

I think Florence will be a bit easier to forecast then Ernesto due to no land and mountainous land interaction.

It's tough to get a read, but there appears now to be some movement north indicated on this loop:

IMO. What you are seeing is the convection being sheared to the north, not the actual center.

could it be that LLC we see out in front of the main convective mass is just a vorticy? It appears to go SE in the last few frames. If this ultimately turns out to be the LLC and Florence continues to experience trouble stacking, then won't this travel further west what is currently being depicted by the models?

Yeah, and that trough is about to exit the east coast. Who will get there first?............
