I was looking at the future tracks of Jeanne, and Accuweather and Weatherunderground are completely different. One has going to S.FL and the other to the Carolina's.
WHy the difference? I know there is some talk that Ivan can prevent it from going N, (at least I think that is what I am understanding), but I thought they all kinda went by the same format/idea/model, etc.
So, which is usually correct? Seems Accuweather always had Ivan west of the NHC track and it looks like they were more accurate this time??

I use NHC official forecasts.

You were probably looking at Weather Underground's model map. They use the same products the NHC does.
