I think right now, Ivan is forecast to be south of PR, but that's past my 72 hour rule. :)

Let's get the ball rolling. I feel sorry for the poor guy (idiot?) who keps says NC for Frances. So I am saying not doubt in my mind NC for this.
All the models showit, they just dont know it.
How's that for pure rank speculation 2000 miles out.

When I say scary for the islands I am talking about all the islands in the lesser antilles chain and yes includes Puerto Rico and the virgin islands.Too early to say if PR will be threatened directly.

It will pass south of ST Marteen according to this model.But of course it is far away to say for sure however this one will not track as Frances did as a strong ridge will keep it from going fish.

Most models are clustering across the islands of the southern Eastern Caribbean from Grenada north to about Guadeloupe

Guess Frances that since Frances is much more important at this time than Ivan that both floaters are focussed on the las from Africa.

Don't you just dislike it how this "Africans" come across and wreak havoc in our beautiful islands?

GFDL is extremely overcooked. Ivan won't be a C-4 in 72 hrs.

The floater can't be put on Ivan until he gets around 35-40 W.

I have the same gut feeling about Ivan that I had about Georges several years ago.

My first evacuation.

I predict landfall for Ivan between Florida City and Ft. Lauderdale, followed by entry into the GOM and a second strike up the Mouth of the Mississippi River and over New Orleans. Ivan will then recurve and emerge off the NC coast, where he will reintensify in the Gulf Stream and make a third landfall on Staten Island. :eek:

The 0z GFDL run has it just south of Puerto Rico at the end of the run moving NW. Very bad news if that happens. :eek:

Let's just hope this doesn't threaten Florida. In fact, Ivan can dissipate now for all I am concerned. Following Frances has been exhausting. We needed a brief respite before Ivan. Sheesh.

Remember a few years ago when we made it up to Roxanne or maybe even farther with the storms?? I wonder whether we will repeat that again this year!

1995. Made it to Tanya. We actually BEAT the number of August 1995 storms this year(but they had more storms in June and July).
