Florida is not out of the woods until it is north of 30 degrees lat.

I do feel much better that a FL landfall is less likely (but still not impossible)

Yee-haww!! I'll be chilling at Clearwater Beach or
St. Pete Beach this weekend after a very busy
academic week with hopefully no
tropics to worry about YEEE HAWW!!! :D

1 question, why do you feel more comfortable if the track is shifting more west? shouldnt you feel less comfortable

I think the west coast of FL is pretty safe at this point.

Paying attention and already told the hubby might as well get the boxes and plywood out, and check the generator tomorrow while he is off work.... just in case.

Ivanhater- yesterday the models showed a recurve back to the west, today they are in more agreement with making this a Carolinas threat.

I changed my mind from a few hours ago based on these new
models.

FL landfall is still possible...but not as likely IMO...esp. for Tampa Bay feeling strong impacts

If this pulls a Jeanne or Frances I'll have my crow with spices
and tomato sauce.

But bermuda high looks like it will be weaker than I originally thought.

read this floridians....DO NOT take your guard down...


FINAL MEDIUM RANGE DISCUSSION...

CONFIDENCE IS MARGINAL AT BEST...BUT THE 12Z NCEP ENS MEAN IS
REASONABLY SIMILAR TO THE PREFERRED 06Z GFS SOLN...SO ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TOWARD THE 12Z NCEP MEAN FOR THE AFTN PACKAGE. PSNS FOR IRENE WERE BASED ON COORD WITH TPC. HOWEVER...WITH THE 12Z GFS NOW KEEPING MORE RIDGING TO THE N OF IRENE AND STEERING IT ON A MORE SLY TRACK...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASINGLY DIMINISHING ON THE SYS TURNING NWD TO THE DEGREE THAT THE COORD TRACK IMPLIES.

Here is the current WV loop - it seems that Irene is still struggling to maintain itself, after some increase in organization this morning.
