Tropical Call maps Irma

I am going to wait until tonight to make a revision, as we should know then whether Irma will strike PR or go north.
Seems like it will take a lot to miss PR at this point. Although there is a NW motion but not sure that will be enough at least for the northeastern tip of PR.

I still think the eye will safely miss PR, it'll be close, but I don't think it will make landfall even briefly.

You might be right. Last loop does appear to be heading north a bit more which would be great news. I'm hoping it misses south FL since my aunt is there.
 
My final detailed map.

Your map shows a Cat 4 at 2nd landfall whereas NHC shows a Cat 1. Why do you think it will be so strong at 2nd landfall ?
 
For now, I am deciding to keep my call map as is, but I may make a finer one later dependant on 18Z. I believe that the intensity may be off a bit for the Florida landfall, but we will see what Irma can do in those hot waters.

My second landfall is a Cat. 3, but you did catch a mistake I made. It should say 120mph, not 130mph. I'll post a revision of it in a bit. To answer your other question, it really depends on what kind of state Irma is in once it approaches FL and then approaches GA/SC. This was a bullish version of my forecast. I know increasing wind shear will be a factor, but I don't know how much because there's still a possibility Irma could re-intensify before it gets near SE FL and those factors obviously have an affect on the wind speeds.
 
The first map wasn't too bad, I probably should have stuck with that one. The second and final one was WAY off! lol
