The eye of Fabian is passing north of 20n-60w but just barely and in that position it will be a big fish spinner but maybe Bermuda may see some effects from it in the form of TS winds and big swells and down the road the maritimes in the north atlantic.

I dont know what are the opinions from all here but NHC in my opinion has done a great job when the track in the long range is concerned as the eye of Fabian has passed north of 20n-60w.They kept insisting on the NW and north track as Fabian arrives at 68w and apparently it is going to go that way up.I had some doubts at one time that Fabian would make that turn to the right as in some occasions it moved west but those were wobbles but generaly it was WNW and I was not concerned at all here in Puerto Rico about a direct hit by it.So for that reason I commend NHC for that great forecast track thet they did for many days.

I believe they did a great job too. Thank goodness it missed the islands.

Yes, kudos to the NHC for their excellent forecasts thus far.

I agree, great job. Almost a perfect forecast.

Agreed - I'm glad that the islands didn't get whalloped as well! :o

I think that it is way to early to say what I great job they have done

It is doing exactly what the forecast from NHC has been for days.It is now comming close to 21n as I type this at 3:02 PM EDT and at that latitud and longitud that it is now is about right so it is not early it was late for me to give them the kudos as I should haved done it yesterday.
