Iam thinking the EURO solution will unfortunately be closer to verify by the end of this critical 120 hour period. I think the ridging currently in place will be strong enough to steer Irma to at least 80 degrees Longitude or so before the northward turn . I believe more and more that Irma will come up through the Florida Keys, after scraping the coast of Cuba near Havana, and move north right up the spine of the peninsula. I think the ridge will build down from the Northeast U.S. to force Irma in time to move on a N/NW header thereafter.
This is my thinking. This is not an official forecast of course.
Point of the matter is that where Irma's eyewall will make landfall wherever that may be because if and when landfall occurs, the likely catastrophic damage is going to ensue and the worst scenario imaginable!! Plus, Irma will be so massive in size that her wind field near the end of the current 120 hour forecast cycle is going to bring tropical storm and hurricane winds well away from her center. She does not have to make a landfall for major impacts in this situation. So many people unfortunately stand to potentially be impacted by this monster storm.
Please prepare completely NOW folks ahead of this monster!!
