Im here... just been looking at some of the 12z model runs... I really would not be all that surprised if Matthew dissipated over Belize before having a chance to lift out to the north.

Nah! The models are being too consistent with the path to FL so we are all bored. J/k of course! I'm just sitting and watching from my phone. Keeping an eye on it but every hour looks safer and safer for LA.

Those chances are pretty remote especially if it misses Nicaragua.
Plus the 12z runs were still when it was an invest...not even a TD yet. That makes a world of difference.

That incoming front looks like it can keep the western gulf, and even as far east as Pensacola safe, as long as the storm doesn't stall off Belize and miss the connection altogether. All bets are off if it simply floats around down near the Yucatan as previous models indicated was a possibility.
The speed of the approaching front is a big factor too. If it comes in fast, it could influence a more northerly path before Matt has a chance to get inland into the Yucatan and keep it stronger without that land interaction. Of cousre that scenario would also tend to result in a storm that has a more easterly component downstream over FL/SFL/even Cuba(?).
If the front is delayed, then the land interaction could be more prevalent and result in a weaker system that gets further north. However, if it hits the loop current, then a quick surge is always possible too.
I don't want this, but certainly would hate to see it go up to the northern gulf coast as a strong storm that is capable of upwelling all that sitting oil in plumes underwater just offshore.

I'm not so sure it won't make landfall in Nicaragua and stay inland beyond then. Distinct possibility.

Wxman, maybe you are right. Maybe it will die off once it gets inland...
