Even local mets are -removed- now? :-) Sorry. Just joking. But this is turing into something very unfortunate. People are going to be so confused. I have a feeling evacuations are going to be a mess.

He usually updates his info daily, so he will probably have a new map out later today with updated %.

They only update it daily? It's a news site for goodness sakes. It should be updated as new information comes in. That seems to be the latest grpahic as I went to the home page and started from there. It's on the home page as well.

Somewhere between 2 and 3 is the more likely course.

It is. Look at where the storm is in relation to Puerto Rico. That was yesterday's position.

That dude

That dude is pretty slick. Left TV for a while to teach met, i think at clemson (where they do that hurricane structure research that fl ignores ;)), best met in SC by far. His casts usually very accurate.

Hey gurutc Jim Gandy is my favorite met in SC too, I give him the most credence when it comes to tropical forecasting.

South Carolina will get SOME affects from Frances one way or another, but right now, based on the last several model runs, Central Florida looking more and more where it's zeroing in ... IMHO ...

SC -removed-. Funny how even the METS do it too. Frances is not heading on a curve to SC. Folks in FLORIDA are going to be dealing with a second major disaster in about 48 hours.

Local met in Jacksonville gave the storm a 30% chance for central/south fla, 35% for North fla and a 35% chance for missing fla to the east like Floyd did.
