Thank you Derek. Now I just have to figure out where: 27.3N 80.6W is exactly. I believe we're at 26.84N 80.13W so it's pretty darn close to us.

I Know you have other models that I can't see but, The only models that have it that for east in the gulf is the ETA, and BAMD. the new Eta has Shifted WAY west on the 06Z run. You have to admit there maybe something to this...

Here's a zip code to latitude / longitude calculator. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm avoiding all GFS runs and models that use the GFS initial conditions due tp its poor initialization

What about NOGAPS,06Z ETA, AND CMC to go with GFS. You should have left your forecast alone that you had 24 hours ago... imo

Why would you discount a model that the NHC has sworn by all along?

Does anyone know of a site that does exactly the opposite? Where you can plug in lat/long and then get a location (not just a zip code, but a city or area name)? I think someone posted a site like this from the Carribean a while back and I neglected to bookmark it.
