Is this the first model initialized with the Gulfstream data? Very curious to see what happens.

NO Gulfstream data.

And actually that data's mostly irrelevant to a forecast of a turn in 6 days. The G-IV would have to be flying over Canada for that.


And it's a very, very tiny shift in the track. For a 6 day forecast, basically meaningless.

That looks to be a Melbourne landfall. the one that really matter though are still 4-5 days away. Everyone in the cone better get ready. Charley should have taught us Floridians that much at least.

Not irrelevant to the people in San Juan though.
