URGENT: THIS STRONGLY HINTS AT US LANDFALL-FIRSTNHCINDICATOR

IT IS NATURAL TO WANT TO SPECULATE ON THE FORECAST TRACK BEYOND 5
DAYS...BUT IT SIMPLY IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO SO WITH CONFIDENCE. THE
GLOBAL MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE MARKEDLY ON HOW MUCH RIDGING WILL
REMAIN OFF THE U.S. SOUTHEAST COAST BY DAY 5. THE EXTENT AND
ORIENTATION OF THIS RIDGING WILL BE CRUCIAL IN DETERMINING THE
POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THE BAHAMAS AND THE EASTERN UNITED STATES.
GIVEN THAT ISABEL IS STILL SEVERAL DAYS AWAY FROM THESE
AREAS...THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR RESIDENTS TO REVIEW THEIR
PREPAREDNESS PLANS IN CASE ISABEL BECOMES A DIRECT THREAT.

BTW, they never said that with Fabian.
Boy have I turned 360 since this time yesterday. lol.

I'm new to posting, but I've been reading GoPBI for several years. I live on the SE GA coast, and I don't like the look of this track. The last time we had to leave was for Floyd, and what a nightmare it was! But I was glad we left. It missed us by at least 100 miles, and it still took up 2 oak trees from my yard. Our causeway has to have lanes closed when we get a noreaster, so if anything much comes this way, we will certainly have a problem. Thanks for all of the great information. I am a hurricane freak. I love to watch them.
