This is just for opinions only. Steve Lyons said TD 12 could pass through south Florida and either take a NW turn or keep going west through the GOM. He is going with the more west scenerio at this time. What are your thoughts?

I predict that upper TX Coast will get the majority of the votes. I voted panhandle.

Skim the very Southernmost tip of Florida (or miss, and go through the Florida Straits), and then Texas.

Across South Florida(Andrew-like TRACK, no one freak) and then NW into Southeast Louisiana. Possible hurricane in FL... definite hurricane in the Gulf.

A track between Boca (in honor of Boca_ Chris ) :D and Jupiter. In the GOM, somewhere between La. and Ms. Just a guess.

:D :D

If it was a major cane now people would be freaking. Especially with the
possible 'nightmare' track through miami and then heading to new orleans.

Looks like florida will get off lucky intensity wise. Can't say the same for the gulf landfall. I voted east louisiana.

I predict you're wrong. It seems that everyone is thinking Florida Panhandle, at least from the posts that I've had time to read.

I'll guess Central GOM or further east and I suppose I'll vote for SE La.

IMHO, I could reasonably see this crossing the southern 1/2 of the Florida peninsula into the Gulf then...and I sure hate to say this...yet another hurricane landfall somewhere between Mobile Bay and Appalachicola.

Watching the recent positions and strengths of the ridges as we head toward the peak of the season, I'm still feeling cautiously optimistic about the Louisiana coast's odds of avoiding any direct hurricane hit this season.

Wish I could feel as optimistic about our neighbors to the east.

I am thinking MS, as I think it will take a hard turn north, but miss Pensacola area.

I would have agreed with your Jupiter inlet thoughts earlier... But with that High ridge axis sitting at 26N it will bump off and head west somewhere South of the inlet.. Although with this rainmaker Id rather be on the eyewall than 10 -30 miles north of the center

I just dont see a sharp turn N YET for this storm. Most models are showing a strong ridge that wont allow a N turn making the storm move more W. So i do not know what yall are talking about when you say flordia alabama missisipi..I voted TX because i think it will be more south than that even.. but thats the lowest yall put on there. Image

Notice the models shift W as they think there will be a block in the road making them move more W. Im not saying it could move N just right now following the models it shows west once it gets into the gulf. Correct me if im wrong though
