The GUNA ensemble models take this thing out to sea, and UKMET is not stalling this morning, so this is probably a safe call. Out to sea and accelerating over the next few days, but I think GFDL might be a little too fast; we're not looking for a really strong northward jump in the track, but rather a east-northeast to northeastward exit. No hurricane for this forecast, but it is certainly possible as the storm passes 65W. Track is a good blend of model guidance.

corrected for 12 hour position; somehow I managed to use the wrong initial point to get the 12 hour position, and I was wondering why the forecast track looked so strange...

Definately will complicate things further if the slow erratic movement continues.
