Gfs doesnt budge at 12z. Seems to be zeroing in on the central coast and correct me if I'm wrong but it was at 971mb at 6z and stronger down in low 960s at 12z.

Would a stronger hurricane mean a more westerly track ?

Typically a stronger hurricane would want to pull more northward quicker which would argue for a more East track. However that’s not what we’re seeing in the models this morning. I do wonder if it’s being pulled a little more to the west due to the remnant low from Gamma. Either way from the models I’m looking at this morning no matter when the turn NE actually occurs, it looks to be fairly sharp turn.

Watch Levi video he explains all about the direction the storm can take. Still long ways out and expect changes
 
Cooler water eastern gulf and warmer waters west gulf is the reason models are predicting a powerful storm because of Delta moving in that direction. The problem is if it slows a bit in the western gulf, it will have nothing but warm water until landfall coming from the sw to the ne.

And the 12Z UKMET now joins the further west party. Also, it is very strong at landfall I’m Central LA at 948 mb! ?

I do see recon showing a little more Northerly component (to the WNW movement) *shorter term movement* Biggest thing is can this avoid a landfall over the Yucatan.
