About worn out on the tropics this year but have to admit the evolution of how this plays out is purely weather geek stuff.

Remember the cone just expresses where the center may be. Impacts will be felt regardless.
The trend this season is for the forecast cones to trend west as time progresses it seems, with only a few exceptions like Sally.
Every storm is different. I remember many on here saying the Storm was going W into EPAC and not to worry. Look at where we are.
We just have to watch this

They have other models like the FSSE (Florida State Super Ensembles) which are probably close to the Euro as well which turn this west into the Gulf before reaching Southern Florida.
The story of this season as been strong high pressure which models have typically underestimated.

One thing I will say is the TVCN brings Eta to South Florida in 72hrs., while the NHC has Eta over Cuba in 72hrs.

Considering it’s November the entire east coast of FL also good enough to keep a storm at intensity

Also one other trend of 2020 is that storms end up stronger than originally modeled.

That's terrible. I had a feeling it was going to be bad considering the projected rainfall amounts.

Re: ATL: ETA - Tropical Depression - Discussion
Eta is getting closer to TS strength. 35 mph & 1005 MB & Tropical storm watches has been issued for the Cayman Islands
But, remember that this system is going to have higher than normal difficulties tracking the storm once it's back out in the West Carribbean, so good luck on where to track this.
And remember: no constant spamming or this will happen:
, no -removed- & no Eta jokes on Central America since there is severe devastation there & I feel really bad for them 
(I will not be readly on for a while until Eta is stronger & closer to landfall, good luck & keep tracking!)

And also pretty much every storm has had some sort of a complicated setup

Evening everyone
In the models discussion page I have seen a few recent model runs showing a stronger and more east progression with Eta, so why does the track seem to be staying with the sharp left turn, not buying that, not so sharp anyway.

The current NHC advisory does not have the 18z model runs... The next advisory will have a dramatic track change probably into SFL as Cat 1 if they give weight to these model runs...
Or they will continue hanging their hat on the Euro, not a bad bet in a pinch...

Gotta wait for next advisory to see if they are giving heavy weight to these models... Usually if it was 5+ days out they would make subtle track change, but Keys could be @45 hours from TS force winds if the 18z is right... I expect dramatic change at next advisory...
Key Largo floods crazy... Ugh
