The NHC's 8pm position (21.4N 78.9W), although same latitude as 5pm, is much further west, offshore to the south, and closer to the blowup near the Jardines de la Reina islands of Cuba that folks have been pointing out here, so maybe 0z models will have better initialization.

Looking like it’s slowing down, should be making its turn to the northwest overnight

Re: ATL: FOUR - Potential Tropical Cyclone - Discussion
I have a sneaking suspicion this isnt going to follow model guidance exactly, very similar to beryl which defied guidance all the way up until landfall, wouldnt shock me if this system does that lol, seems this season is full of surprises

Model guidance is just that. Guidance. A forecasting tool. Almost all storms don’t follow modeling exactly. Not sure what your point is? But pretty sure it ain’t sneaky

We need a true center. I know that statement is old has the hills in Cuba. But it’s truth!

Looking like Crystal River is in the center of the forecast cone for landfall at this point. Riding the west coast of Florida. Should be interesting to watch the radar returns and local reports.

Do wonder if the trough weakening and the lack of steering pattern will occur. If it does and with a a good half day extra and a little more west than forecasted, then this might meander more over the northeast GoM.

Way too premature to making such statements.

After the Katrina fiasco I don't trust forecasts. Usually NHC is spot on but they do make mistakes. Beryl is the latest example. Katrina was going to Florida panhandle until the 300 mile shift west in the forecast track. Until PTC4 starts the north turn I'll be skeptical as should all of us.......MGC

This is quite a bit further south than I thought it would be. I think it is south of where best track has it
