well I ran the 12Z GFDL which was just released on the servers.
Looks like it will reach cat 3 status via GFDL

According to this model does look a little better for the islands... lets wait for the other runs of other models to confirm great news

May be a fish for the islands, but it shows a pretty steady wnw, nw movement crossing the 20th parallel at 56.5W but it is one model run, but I think it still shows a definite threat to the US mainland, and those in the islands it would be too soon to turn your eye away from the storm, even though it seems as if it will pass well North.

Oh, so it's great news for the Islands. But bad news for CONUS?

I was a little too aggressive with my terminology, I just mean that it certainly does not really show a true indication of turning it away from the US by any means. That does not mean, we won't see these indications in future model runs.
