0Z appears initialized a bit better than 18Z. Still shows 99L tracking north of P.R. Whether or not that occurs might be key to its eventual strength as it approachs Florida. I also think that the GFS 0Z run will reflect the most recent ensemble trend and thus the operational likely to come in by showing a stronger system approaching Florida. On the flip side and from looking at the 12Z EURO ensembles, it would'nt surprise me if the EURO operational run were to back off a little on 99L's strength as its passing near (or even south) of S. Florida. Either way, I would'nt put too much into either models' windshield wiper effect. If/when 99L truly develops a fairly tight inner core tonight, tomm. or afterward, then I'd expect the globals to all be pretty locked on and all in pretty good agreement on track at least.
