Tom Terry says more west

Tom Terry is the chief meteorologist for the ABC affiliate in Orlando. In my opinion he is one of the better ones in communicating what is going on and the factors involved in forecasts. He is also not afraid to give an opinion.
As for more west, I have agreed with the Ortt/Cangialosi reasoning for awhile now.

I liked the way that he was gratuitous to the NHC track but he must have said "watch for a shift west" 20 times during his forecast..... so he showed the NHC, didn't bash them at all, but it was obvious he didn't agree with NHC 5pm track at all.
Seems it will stay so far south and west of here that they will drop the mandatory evacuation tomorrow. I am at least going to disregard that order even if they don't drop it. I ain't evacuating unless a consensus of tracks and pros on Storm2K change.

A minute or two ago, he (Tom Terry) said the official forecast track from the National Hurricane Center may be "more to the west," not "a longer/more westward movement." -- the same thing I heard him say during the 5:00 PM hour.

If the storm was 150 Miles from Tampa the storm would either be in the everglades or about 40 miles offshore east. He did not say that Orlando is out of the woods, a further south and west track would actual put Orlando in the wrong quadrant. It would have to track very south and have no northern component.
