What makes you think this?
As I said a lot of ensemble models are still keeping it out to sea, Climatology always favors a recurve and I've seen this play out so many times in my 31 years here in Florida. Plus the fact that its gaining decent lattitude now, doesn't hurt my theory

I was just about to post that it's definitely heading NW, as was expected. I think this will be a coastal scraper, with possible landfall in the Carolinas.

He shouldn't maintain current trajectory. Should turn NW to NNW

Not sure where you’re seeing this... all the ensembles have landfall or barely off shore.

Re: ATL: ISAIAS - Hurricane - Discussion
Just looking at the situation, I'll say for FL this storm will be very close to Cleo 1964. Cat 1 to 2 winds as the center of Isaias passes just 10 miles or so offshore. I'll say this storm does make landfall or at least has part of the eyewall come ashore between West Palm Beach and Hobe Sound as it parallels the state en route to the Carolinas.
Carolinas should pay attention, I'd say Isaias could make a run at Cat 2 to Cat 3 over the gulf stream.

Its time to get real about this system. I have asked Eric Blake if his shutters are up or going up?. Will advise when I know more.

We'll we are possibly 30 min away from a hurricane warning.

I really hope NHC goes with warnings at 5. Publix here in east boca is business as usual (w/covid) and hardly seeing any shutters up. People are going to be caught off guard.

Just saw on the weather channel there is forced evacuations in North Carolina... that seems really premature

That is likely a done deal Stacy S. is in the controls.

To add to Aric's post about the ridge, the NAM shows it as well as it shows Isaias making a left turn (small) over or near Bimini and landfalling around Miami-Dade/Broward

You are one of the most pessimistic Fl tropical posters I've seen on these boards over the years. I applaud you for sticking to your guns
