Hmm interesting to notice that JAX is only 2% less than places like Cocoa Beach and 3% less than Ft. Pierce. Also interesting are the bolded above. There appears to be a VERY SLIGHT chc that the storm still goes north alot.... hmmm.

Notice that West Palm Beach has the highest percentage at 20%, with Miami and Ft. Pierce following. Where's my Mylanta!

The probability product can be highly misleading....

Keep in mind, this is a three-day probability. Right now, if the NHC track verifies, landfall is around Melbourne, well north of WPB (although WPB would probably still be within the 65NM window NHC uses in their probabilities).

However, there is a greater chance of a landfall within three days because WPB is further south and the storm can make it here in that time, whereas Fort Pierce is slightly further away and less likely to see a landfall within the three-day window.
