5PM track, further east, now running up the coast instead of coming inland.
That could even be worse....now, the eye wall has the potential to stay over the reaaaaaly warm water and lose little if any intensity as it rakes it's way up the coast. Fl topography will do nothing to help shear it either. Wow, this could be all around super bad.

Other thing I noticed is a drop further south which will hit the Bahamas harder.

The local news in Chattanooga just ran a story about the local Red Cross preparing to deploy if needed.  I'm sure the power companies will have a fleet of trucks and personnel ready to go, as well.

TWC just reported that 60% of metro Miami gas stations are dry. At least people are listening.

Really getting a nice CDO and the visible showed the "stadium effect" starting to occur just before sunset. I think little doubt it'll be an easy 4 on the next advisory.

I’m in St. Augustine, about 20 miles inland. Based on the wunderground model it says 81 mph winds by me on Wednesday. Got the generator running , 3 cans of propane and a 5 gal jug of gasoline. I hope that’ll be enough if we lose power. Gas stations by the coast are dry, but not a problem so far at the inland stations. I must admit, I’m excited about how my WS2000 will perform on Wednesday.

My parents are in Titusville.  Trying to convince them to leave in the morning.  My 94yo grandfather lives with them and it's tough to move him, but I don't think he would survive a week without power.

Looking at the latest loop, the CDO is becoming perfectly symmetrical and the eye wall is shrinking, a Cat 5 is certainly knocking on the door.

Yes! It's turning away. This is why I say to remain calm until at least 3 to 4 days. Who needs more time than that to prepare and/or evacuate?  I'm doing the happy dance. Unbelievable that yesterday local schools already canceled school for Tuesday (Monday is a holiday).

I don't find it unbelievable or inappropriate.  There is still significant risk and chance of land fall.  The smart thing to do is cancel school and other activities to allow people the ability to do what they need to.  Happy dance of you wish, but your still at risk.

yes, there is weak steering flows, and that forecast track is just the average of lots of ensemble runs

From the real source (No WuWu nonsense), track centerline is now completely off shore until SC:

I don't like how "the real source" does not show projected hurricane wind speed category. It only has 2 levels (H, M).

Right now, I would be very concerned from the Low country of SC, all the way to Hatteras. Start to get your plans in motion. Once the storm begins to turn over the Bahama's, it should sit still for a day or so, and then the models will be able to read it's future path with a lot more certainty I believe. Right now, it's way to speculative to give a hint of an all clear all the way up and down the SE coast of the US.

The coast is not clear.

There will be effects from W. Palm northward until wherever it turns back out to sea or dissipates.  How substantial those effects will be is very much in question, but likely to be less wind damage than a direct landfall.

The models are now indicating that once it turns, it will move very rapidly to the north and northeast possibly...

If the stall over/near the Bahamas happens, I wouldn't take any forecast into next week to the bank.

I was told that a similar think happened with hurricane Matthew. It turned into Florida and caused a lot of damage. I guess we’re not in the clear until it passes by.

3 days out the NHC is pretty good with track guidance.
I would say at this point it's a non event for inland Florida.
Every model  I looked at has it offshore heading north. I guess things could change but
not expecting them to.
This is part of the 11AM discussion.
Most of the global
models shift the high eastward and deepens a trough over the
eastern United States beyond 2 days.  This steering flow would
typically favor a gradual turn of the hurricane to the northwest and
north, however there is large uncertainty in the exact location
and timing of this northward turn. Although the latest guidance
has shifted a little bit eastward again this morning, there are
still ECMWF and GFS ensemble members that do not forecast the
northward turn so soon. On this basis, NHC prefers to shift the
track forecast just a little bit to the right of the previous one,
and the new official forecast lies along the western edge of the
guidance envelope. This will allow for further adjustments in the
track during future forecast cycles.

Hope it keeps moving east, right now it is dead on my beach house. Sister is full time across street on ICW.

2PM takes it further offshore, now more skimming NC than direct into SC.

5PM, Advisory 30, now even further off shore, may even miss NC at this rate.

TS Watch posted for part of FL though.  There will be winds, rain and rough surf.  Unlikely to completely miss all of that at this point.
