I believe the JMA model is from the Japanese Meteorological Association....but if it verifies, Isabel will be greatly weakened, if not torn to shreds by those mountains on Hispanola.

I honestly don't see Isabel being that far south west of 65 W....but time will tell (I've never put much stock in the JMA).

Didn't Georges cross along the same area that the JMA shows Izzy going? It weakened him quite a bit, but he still had 105 mph winds when he visited Biloxi, if I'm not mistaken.

That model is pure crap, plain and simple. Just take a look at the resolution, 2.5 by 2.5 degrees. Not worth more than the paper it is printed on, if you ask me
