Tropical Hurricane Dorian

That's getting close. I think we trend toward the HWRF solution of a landfall on Cape Canaveral.
I agree....but the NHC has to make some timing changes to align. HWRF doesn't align in timing for Charleston, so probably downstream too. It has about a 28 hour difference.......
 
Levi has made a new video:


Interesting from Levi. He thinks that the reason the HWRF keeps landfalling him near Canaveral is that it unlike the Euro and GFS is more coupled with the ocean. Because of this, the HWRF induces more cooling of the ocean due to upwelling from Dorian. That cooler water leads to more weakening than would otherwise be assumed. More weakening then makes the storm more shallow and thus brings the mean steering layer down just far enough to make the steering SE to NW rather than SSE to NNW thus pushing inland. So, ironically, a more quickly weakening storm from upwelling may actually be bad rather than good news for central and NE FL, including @pcbjr, because more quickly weakening doesn’t mean it wouldn’t still be a very strong storm (probably still cat 3+) since it is so insanely strong now. Sorry, Phil, don’t shoot the messenger.

I'm starting to think this wobble is more of a move than a wobble. Still moving just south of west and recon confirms this.
Yeah looking at the IR sat over the past several hours it looks like a slightly WSW track
 
I have not caught up, but it (at this point) looks like the OBX may take a good hit after getting back home and looking at recent modeling.
