However with fronts like this clearing Florida, the NW Carib becomes the place to watch.

My thinking too. The trough will block any attack on the CONUS unless it dips so far south that it misses it (basically needs to stay below 20°N).

If the next NOGAPS model run drops the W turn, then all reliable guidance says out to sea. It's obvious when reality sets in because the # of posts decreases. People are beginning to accept the reality.

IMO I don't think that NOGAPS model will drop the west movement. I think it see someting other don't. It has done very well with past storms this year.

Gordon is the big key here too not just the fronts that are coming thought off the east coast. If he moves fast out of the way liike some one said here it will close off the weakness of the ridge. That maybe what NOGAPS model is seeing. JMO

IMO, your theory is not totally out the question, but if that does happen it may go another 5-7 degrees W, and still N of the islands, before getting booted out.

90 degree weather is forcated through next sunday here in South Florida......where is this so called strong cold front? Surely with the passing of this Strong Cold Front, shouldn't the Temps be lower? Maybe this won't be as Strong as everyone is saying.....maybe it won't be strong enough to offer that weakness for the turn....maybe just maybe

in deep south florida...late summer fronts dont usually lower the temps...its usually lowers the humidity...which can actually cause it to be a few degrees warmer than usual...

But it feels a lot better especially in the evenings when even 80 feels pretty good when the humidity is lower.

My first reaction was, "Major League Baseball talking about weather conditions in such detail" but then Melbourne came to my head!!!

I don't think so. It is a large storm and it will take some time to build up it Hurricane. But yes it is looking better as time goes by. JIMO

Looks like a bit of a NW jog but now back to a WNW movement.

Look at the attached Helene historical track, the 2 lone west trackers defied the climatology and became legends.

1900 Galveston
1928 Okeechobee
