UKMET much stronger
The UK is much stronger and it is further east than the consensus but there's a big initialization problem with UK and that has a lot to do with how strong it is and how far east its track is. First of all, it already had it just going offshore at 0Z (8 PM), or 4 hours early over hot water, and a whopping full degree east of where it actually was at 8 PM. UK had it at 83.5W and it was at 84.5 W per NHC! Shear is likely less there, too. Then, partially because of that too far east initialization, UK send him E of the Yucatan! So, that is another reason why it has him so strong. Can anyone think of a reason that this run shouldn't be thrown in the trash?
