interesting... although the ridge is strong notice the trough over the Ohio valley the timing would be the key.. but pointless to speculate right since nothing has even formed and that is not for a week!

but i do like the graphic where did you get it?

just great now other models are jumping on the GFS wagon for a direct SE Florida strike. I don't believe it still but becoming slightly more anxious today. I know its still 300 hours out but still....

I wonder how many times we will hear OMG it is going to hit us Till we really know where it is going?

It hasn't even came off the coast yet much less formed into any thing and we have it heading right for us.LOL

Where this goes is of no concern at this point. The bigger story is the fact that nearly all the models show this developing and it has been a very consistant feature for days.

If the map holds out to be right then it would go out to sea. it will not go to a high but around one.

Negative, it would miss the trough and go under the ridge in the southeast.
