"locked in on south Florida for the last few runs"
Give us a break, please... the last few runs of the GFS have ranged from the Bahamas, to Flamingo, to Cape Sable, to Naples, Ft Myers... yes its the southern half (mostly) of the peninsula... this is "locked in"? You "bring it on" boys are dreamers (albeit misguided ones)...
Last night ECMWF was the knight in shining armor for misanthropic Miamians who dream of CAT 5 drama... what happened to it...?

That link posted at beginning of thread shows Ivan becoming very symettrical with a very clear eye. But does it look like it is curving more west?

I agree, it is likely a wobble. But you never can tell how these hurricanes are going to behave when they start slowing and interacting with land. It is POSSIBLE that he will ride right along the southern coast of Jamaica. To tell you the truth, I'm not so sure that isn't the worse of the two scenarios for Jamaica because he wouldn't lost any intensity, and he will be heading for the Caymans and Cuba as a cat 5.

12z ECMWF further west than the 00z run, and looking more like the 12z CMC ... the 18z GFS is still fairly right of of the guidance, but still becoming a little more clustered as we near to the events ... and right now, points more from the Panhandle of Florida to the Peninsula ...
Linked below are the previous 12z (9/10/04) and 18z (9/10/04) guidance spread ...

ok....bandwidth cant handle arguments so this will be my last response........restrengthening began after my post this morning....at the bottom of the weakening trend...
as for the "non-existant shear" forecast..
from the 5pm nhc discussion:
Once in the Gulf
of Mexico...the shear is forecast to increase and Ivan should
gradually weaken.
thankfully.
