I know it's early, but this is a very frightening track for SW Floridians after Hurricane Charlie last year:

That looks like a real long haul over cuba. Seems to me would not be much left ater that trek across cuba.

Latest GFS takes it near Lake Charles/Beaumont, as best as I could tell. There will be a lot of laughs at the GFS's expense as it flip flops constantly.

I gotta say it..

It's gonna hit Florida lol..

Personally I think somewhere in South Florida, then crossing the state and exiting into the GOM.

I think that the models are going to continue to shift left at least over the next few runs or so because they have it moving too much NW initially. This thing is at a pretty low latitude and it is going to have to slow down or turn fairly quickly to follow that track that it is forecasted right now.

Yea WX if you look at the sat pics then the NRL supposed track it's already way S.I am with you rainstorm clips W Cuba.Where is the high after that your guess is as good as mine.The system is to symetrical so it continues on a 290' path for a while.Once the clouds out front start to stretch look at the stretch thats where it goes next.

That part of Cuba is skinny and it's not very mountainous there. If it follows that track, I wouldn't expect it to weaken more than 5 to 10 mph. It's fast motion would take it across the island in a few hours.

If the system holds off and stays further south than the current paths, it will likely cross the western tip of Cuba... very flat and little impedance. Then aka Charley, it will enter into the soupy warm eddy of the GOM and bust open. This will indeed be a very powerful early season hurricane and not a pretty sight no matter who gets it.

Totally agree.
They seem to like to turn these SE Carib storms way too early, then they get so far west , it can't happen.
They originally had this going WNW then NW but now they say W for the next 24 hours.
That is one heck of a right turn to get So. FL!!
