They shifted the track a little further west. Now it's at 29.0N 58.5W at 120hrs.

There's a different set of graphics for the NOGAPS you can get it at that site. That shows the 0z run already. Just click on the a Atantic or Tropical Atlantic map and then loop it. It should say Sept 17 0z at the top of the second column from the left.

From the discussion:

WITH
THE STRONGEST WINDS NOW INDICATED BY WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND
UPPER-AIR DATA TO BE ON THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER-LOW...
THE 18Z GFS RUN MAY BE INDICATING A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE MODEL
FORECAST TRACKS COULD BE FORTHCOMING.
HOWEVER...UNTIL THE OTHER
MODELS MAKE A CHANGE SIMILAR TO THE GFS...THE OFFICIAL TRACK WAS
ONLY NUDGED SLIGHTLY WESTWARD...BASED MAINLY ON THE MORE SOUTHERLY
INITIAL POSITION...AND IS SIMILAR TO BUT A LITTLE SLOWER THAN THE
NHC MODEL CONSENSUS AT 96 AND 120 HOURS.

Water
vapor imagery and 00z upper-air data indicate the upper-low that
has recently moved off the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast has been moving
eastward similar to the GFS solution...rather than digging
southeastward toward Bermuda as forecast by the other models. With
the strongest winds now indicated by water vapor imagery and
upper-air data to be on the south and east side of the upper-low...
the 18z GFS run may be indicating a significant change in the model
forecast tracks could be forthcoming


from the 11pm advisory

Here we go, if this hurricane hits the U.S., this will be the discussion to remember as the time when it all changed from fish to problems down the road. Can't wait to see the 00Z runs.......perhaps they will all align towards a recurve and put an end to our suffering- but then again, who knows- it could be more in the OTHER direction- thus prolonging the anguish and late nights of staring at maps and models. But hey, this is why we all LOVE this so much- you just never know.

Yep, it is definately looking a little more interesting, especially points from the Carolinas north and Bermuda. Stewart has basically sent up a warning flag that says "we might want to pay a little more attention."

So do you guys think the GFS will verify? Could be a major blow to the well respected GFDL....
