I still wouldn't rule out the possibility of it impacting the FL Keys and extreme S. FLorida....the playing field is different once it moves into the Caribbean...and I'm not sure these models will be as accurate as people think in this highly unusual situation. Anytime you have storm that is South and West of the FL peninsula like this one will be, you have to be concerned, especially if it reforms nicely once it hits the Caribbean....
If the upper level ridge to the NW decides to abate more than expected in the next several days then this thing could decide to push more north than east....some ridging off of the Eastern seaboard could develop...
I wouldn't be surprised if this happens as we have seen the ridging really try to establish itself over the last couple of weeks and now it just so happens there is no ridging...but what about 5 days from now???

This is the first indication that their models are starting to diverge as it approaches the Caribbean...interesting:
To me it's taking the northern side of their cone and slowing down...
From the NHC 11:00 EST advisory (March 18th)
THERE IS SCATTER IN THE CENTER FIXES...WHICH MAKES THE INITIAL
MOTION...065/07...RATHER UNCERTAIN. THERE ARE NO IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE TRACK FORECAST REASONING. A LARGE MID-LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH OF ADRIAN SHOULD STEER THE TROPICAL CYCLONE NORTHEASTWARD WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED. THE CURRENT OFFICIAL FORECAST IS JUST SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE DURING THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS.
