But the models definitely aren't as aggressive as they were a few days ago.
The latest GFDL and HRWF were still showing Hurricane. Even SHIPs has a 50kt storm coming to SFL, stronger than the NHC's 40kt. By the way, the new SFWMD model plot is out, and it shows the NHC track being east of the consensus. 12z GFS will be interesting.
Intensity wise I think that NHC is close...maybe a bit under right now. As far as track I think that they may be too far east. If you look at the flow across Florida this morning you will notice that storms are streaming in from SSE to NNW up until around 27.5 north and then it flows off to the NNE. If that stays the same I'm think an Irene track will be likely.
