This one is gonna be a problem for someone in the SE....looks pretty decent on sat loops right now.....stronger earlier means bigger threat up my way, weaker longer probably means Floridaish......so far the GFS is back to the weaker southern track a la Fred.....versus the stronger big hits to the SE coast this morning.
 
Although I hope you're right, it is of course way too early to have a strong feel. The 18Z GEFS started off with all weak members but suddenly became much more active near the SE coast (31 members total):
