I say landfall just north of Cedar Key as a minimal Cat 1, exiting the state into the atlantic in the vicinity of Jacksonville as a weak TS, then intensifying a bit again as it goes extratropical, but staying offshore.

EDIT: Sorry, just noticed we were asked to predict wind/pressure at landfall. I'll go with just under 70 knots (80mph) and 993mb.

Landfall about 100 miles north of Tampa, just making Cat 1 status. It will be controversial. 8-)

I said it before, and still believe it to be true. The center circulation will likely make landfall around Apalachicola (or maybe as far east as Goose Bay). Wind speed = 60mph
