That's a classic spot for landfall in NC.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Models
It is so confusing one minute someone says trending east and then the next trending east.

Any further west and GA could be in play. Does anyone see that as a possibility?
And yes I know E of Bermuda isn't happening.

I think NOAA has to sample the atmosphere north of P.R. to see if indeed a weakness in the ridge is developing between P.R & Bermuda, thus why the Euro and now the GFS show a more easterly trend in the short term, it could make a big difference in the track over Cuba & the Bahamas.

The frame-by-frame forecasting is a little bit silly, because even the slightest change over the next six hours could spell the difference between out to sea and a hurricane landfall into NC/VA.
With that said, the GFS is being significantly more consistent in locking in a pattern beyond Cuba than the ECMWF is. The ECMWF has varied hundreds of miles between runs the last 24 hours.

My posts are my own personal opinion, defer to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other NOAA products for decision making during hurricane season.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Models
I've mentioned if before but western Atlantic ridging has constantly been underestimated, we had record SSTs off the east coast and a drought situation due to stronger than normal ridging. Hazel was also a strong analog for Matthew.
Florida may escape him but could be dicey for Carolinas.

Trended a bit E near Florida but similar to 06z near mid Atlantic...

I am literally about to start smashing my head against the wall!!

Juuust when I was starting to feel good about the models shiting away from South Florida...I see the UKMET decides to turn it WNW towards FL again. Ugh!

Sizeable SW shift in the 4-5 day time frame.... Slower, heading NW towards Central Florida.
