I think mabe 40% is good. dennis is parrelling South Florida not getting any closer. 80% was based on a more northern movement in my opinion.

Hmm checked this out on 1km res and this dosnt look like an eyewall replacment cycle... My be a temporary jog NNW but i expect it to resume WNW/NW Unfortunatly every jog NNW. Key West comes more and more under the gun.. Im still expecting a nice weekend here in Fort Lauderdale.. I feel for everyone else along the gulf coast

Yes indeed. It's going to get wet around here. I sure hope I can get my yard cut before the first bands wrap thru here. My woman God has me planting new Crotons in the front also. I guess I better get it in gear. My Palms are going to love this!! 8-)

We are very likely to have that much rain with the storm following the west coast of Florida. If you have been here long enough to have seen the feeder bands continue to pull moisture thru the SE coast of Florida even after the storm is far inland. I think the wobble is a turn but other than a little stronger winds and rain, I think we are OK. Got gas for the generator in case FP&L loses it tho.
