We took the direct hit from Frances and she was all over the place at 5 days out from Georgia to West Palm back to Jacksonville and then us. I am concernerned about the ridge and the models ability to accurately forecast its strength this year. It appears on water vapor that it is building in very quickly. Furthermore, after two days of solid rain down here today is a beautiful day with a strong easterly flow. I guess the saga continues...One thing is for sure...we will know alot more by this time next week! LOL

Don't think you'll be waiting til next week. The way I'm reading it is 72 hours out and knocking on the door of Central FLorida.

Yup.
12z GFS = NC (somewhere along the coast.. but Outer Banks for sure)

Yes...but with a sharp turn in front of Central Florida.
Run after run is further west than the last. The GFS is just off the coast of FL and was the eastern-most model at 00Z. If UKMET and GFDL shift westward...and I think they will...there will be some significant leftward adjustments to the forecast track at 5PM.
