They seem to believe Florida probably will be spared by Jeanne I just dont see the storm moving north and miss Florida.

[Josephine96]

I don't see it either.. why do they think we'll be spared..? a cold front..? the ridge not building further wast..?

[Rainband]

Probably an east florida brush if anything. At this point all we can do is wait and see

[stormandan28]

I think will move a little further west if you look at it then in couple of days the models are already to far right this could do Joe Bastardi dont know but possible.

My mom told me this afternoon that she heard Joe B. on one of her XM radio stations and that he thinks this is a Miami storm. According to what she told me, he said that the waters north (i.e., Frances' path) are cooler because they've been churned up by the other storms. He thinks that it will continue more westerly, go over warmer waters, strengthen (don't know to how much), and come in to extreme SE FL....

Now...take that and do with it as you will...I'm just passing on info.

Then into the GOM< I heard him say just now
This is one time I hope Joe B. is REALLY wrong and this thing is a fish

[Canelaw99]

Anyone know how his (JoeB's) track record has been this season?????

[Downdraft]

And if they bomb watch how fast they forget they made the forecast.

That is almost a Hurricane France path!

[Josephine96]

I've been saying it's been making a path eerily similar to Hurricane Frances

[webke]

I have been following the projected paths of both the NHC and Accuweather. I feel at this early point of the game that based upon the cones of possiblilities that both are showing, I will follow the NHC. Accuweather wants to keep the whole South Easten coast open for future debate in case they make an error.

I still can't believe Roland Steadham's Jeanne forecast the other night. He basically wrote it off completely and was very smug and confident about it. Heck, he didn't even have it brushing the Carolinas.

[Canelaw99]

Did he really Patrick?? I didn't see that one I guess! Usually he's not so quick to write them off - he must be wanting a vacation! LOL
