Will Jeanne turn north before landfall?

Days ago the forecast was for Jeanne to get close the Florida's coast and make a more north of due west turn. But right now the hurricane is moving at 14 mph, so it will need time to make a turn. I don't think it will turn but just continue west. It may turn north after making landfall around Palm Beach County.

That seems to be the morning consensus..Turn after landfall..NHC seems pretty confident with the last forecast shift..

Not looking good at this time for a turn before landfall, but time will tell. It is still possible, but less likely as each hour passes with a due west track.

Since 5 AM it appears to have picked up forward speed. Between 5 AM - 8 AM I'm figuring a forward speed of about 16-1/2 mph based on Jeanne moving 50 miles west between advisories.
