I saw a special on TV about what a strong hurricane would do if it made landfall around Savannah...the coastline is very flat there and would result in a horrible storm surge.

What about that other track that just goes right up the east coast of FL? That would be hideous!

What more significant is that it takes it on shore between Cape canveral and West Palm Beach.

It's still too early to say.

The fact is Frances is moving due west and has accelerated in the last few hours.

Now, how long does that trend really continue?
How much does the ridge break down?

When does the northern component resume in the track?

Wait and see.....

That's not the 18Z GFDL on that map. that's the 12Z GFDL.

The times at the top is the time the model came out. Models are named y the time their runs START though.

The 18Z GFDL comes out at 7:30PM Eastern each night.

Accumulatively over the last 42 hours the track of Frances has been less than 10 degrees north of due west. During that time Frances has moved a mere 1.2 degrees farther north, or less than one-fifth of a degree over each six hour period. At the same speed and bearing of the last 42 hours, Frances would make landfall on the north side of Cuba in about four days.

WNW doesn't begin until bearing exceeds 292.5, so Frances has been moving significantly west than WNW for nearly two days.

Looking at those models, it appears to me there is a 50/50 chance Frances could still end up in the eastern GOM, if you project 3 of them. The other 3, take Frances a bit more north in Florida, which would not allow for a re-emergence into the GOM.

Just an observation.

Seems every run is a tad more west... Is speed the major determining factor on the call for a northward trend???
