Indeed. It's faster than most of the other models as well.

Didn’t Katrina do something very similar? Or was the dip after it went into the Gulf?

Edit: it was over SFL

I dont really understand why so many are put so much faith in the ICON. It seems to me the UKMET has been the most reliable inside of 96 hours. Am I wrong?

I don't think many are putting faith in it, though it's the only thing running right now to comment on.

Because it is the only one that continues being consistent, while the others are changing constantly.

I get it but does the Icon have some kind of great track record I'm not aware of? Not sarcastic just a legit question

ICON with the reverse Z move to make sure it goes in closer to Miami. F or G storm coming up (looks like a fish) behind Dorian at 90

Actually the Ukmet has been remarkably consistent as well and has a pretty solid track record for the last few years

The ICON deserves at least some respect. It’s been very consistent for days and was in the UK camp before almost all other globals. Not a bad tool to help form a consensus so far for Dorian.

No it does not. The NHC does not use the ICON for track guidance. It's an intensity guidance model.

With its consistency... If it verifies it will gain a lot of respect.
