Understood. However, if you read the 11 AM advisory, you can see the forecaster is waiting to see what the 12z models had before he shifted the track west. They have shifted west, so expect a shift west and north in the forecast track

See...this is one of the things that I completely disagree with. This really doesn't mean anything other than trouble for the entire SE coast.
For example...look at the Euro...NOGAPS models. All take Jeanne very close to the FL coast then send it north in a pattern not unlike Ivan had to deal with...whereas the models were looping Jeanne further east yesterday.
If any of these models come close to verifying...or if Jeanne gets even one degree south of expected...it will be a close call for somebody in FL and they will have to prepare for a hurricane. Because this turn is taking place on day 4 and 5 it is still very uncertain.
Just because the models show a landfall in a certain place means very little. The trend is west in almost all of the guidance (save UKMET). That should have the entire southeast concerned.

Well said Mike, we need to look at what the trend is and not focus on a particular area, especially this far out... Will be interesting to see what the next model runs show us.

If I remember correctly these were the "spaghetti" models a few days ago!!! You tend to lose some confidence when the models begin to look like food. Either that or the season has finally taken the last shred of sanity left!!!
As always, I say let's wait and see as Jeanne makes up its mind-but keep watching.

Well put all! I agree also on watching the trend. Hey if forcasts were accurate, what fun would that be!
Year 2037 NHC Forcast for J Smith 123 main st.
Winds will peak at your house at 112 sustained with a gust at 2:43 pm of 125. You will need 3/4 plywood and your evacuation slot is 12:14 Tuesday. Thanks and have a nice day!
