Great effort, but i feel that Ernie will cut more easterly than your model. The latest GFS, in my opinion, is almost silly trying to put this storm across eastern Cuba and through the Florida Keys, then Southern Florida.
I think we are looking at more of the NHC track still, along the Big Bend area and possibly as far west as the TX/LA border. The basis in my reasoning, aside from the latest recon data, is that I do not see any major steering components to push Ernie that far west or, as the GFL suggests, that far East either.
Again, AWESOME model/prediction.

Delta I don't like that forecast very much...puts the center right over my house as it comes inland...
That being said, it's a nice effort...

Whoa. You're leaning with the outliers at the moment, but hey, if you nail this on the first call, I'll be sure to send you a congratulatory PM along with a couple of copies of the storm damage photos I'll be taking for my claims adjuster.
