That would be my guess but you'd think there would be some level of shear and dry air encroaching.

My school system moved the high school game and homecoming festivities to Thursday night. I'm assuming concerns over rain on Friday.

Looking at the Fl coast line compared to this early storm surge map... There are some areas that could be in trouble like Naples that is only 3' above sea level.

Another shift east in spaghetti models. I expect another click east from NHC.

I can't be seeing this right. Did all the members initialize between 40 - 60 kts, when the system is already at 70 kts per the 2pm update? I don't see any 70kt hurricanes for 48 hrs on that plotting. There has to be a mix up on my end or every single member initialized too low.

First legitimate storm threat towards Florida during my freshman year at the University of Miami, but it doesn’t look like the impact in most of the Miami area will be much more than the typical breezy and rainy conditions that always occur during the rainy season (however there may be some slight storm surge, and combined with downpours, flooding could become an issue). UM hasn’t cancelled anything, but my friends at USF in Tampa and Florida State in Tallahassee say classes have been cancelled for the week. Miami appears like it’ll continue its lucky streak with this storm, but Tampa might not. A hurricane, even if it isn’t necessarily a major one, stalling just off the coast for days pushing surge and battering the coast with wind and rain is a worst case scenario for anywhere, especially in an area as vulnerable as Tampa/St. Pete.
Something to chew on, the longer it bumbles around and doesn’t have a massive RIC, the more problematic it may end up for the area around Tampa should it go there. It *may* mean it is less likely to have a ERC before landfall and make it less likely for dry air to penetrate the core. This is something Harvey, Michael and Ida did. Wouldn’t mean much for areas north of there, but for areas south it may mean a big jump in intensity.

The NHC track forecast has again been adjusted slightly
eastward at 48-72 h, which follows the latest trends in the global
model guidance and lies near but just west of the multi-model
consensus aids.
There is the danger of life-threatening storm surge along much
of the Florida west coast where a storm surge warning has been
issued, with the highest risk from Fort Myers to the Tampa Bay
region. Residents in these areas should listen to advice given by
local officials.

I don't know if I can watch 2 majors in one week.....we are a long way from that but now ICON is pushing for a Charleston LF which was also in the 18z spaghetti model.
