Nam 12Z H+48 near central cuba and more importantly the synoptics look very reasonable

I don't see how that could happen with all the models showing the weekness strong enough to pull it north east of south fla. Unless the high builds in even for the short term then I guess it would be possible.

Looking at the NAM for 500mb heights... It looks like troughing in 60 hours is not as prevalent as it is now. It's much flatter.

Is the NAM one of the more "respected" models?

The operational NAM is horrible with tropical cyclones, you are only -removed- if you are using it as evidence of possible impacts.

lol, "-removed-"....

NAM is a synoptics model. Those synoptics favor a track near the Florida peninsula.

But it does a very good job with overall synoptics.....

No one is -removed-. The NAM is good for spotting trends, and more importantly, the synoptics to steer storms.

Oh no the dreaded W word..

Although when it comes to the NAM I tend to forget that there is even a tropical cyclone evident and look at the much larger features such as troughs and ridging... ie synoptics

and just when I start to think Im smart and know what Im talking about I remember that my Den doesnt look like this....

It is going to be a tense couple of day to say the least

I guess you make good points but hopefully the changes would show up on the global models and then they would correctly project the track.
