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):

never say never and never be never prepared this time of year ... after all, this is not Wake in January ... ❄
 
If it can avoid Hispaniola this is actually a pretty interesting track. I definitely wouldn't write it off as another Fred although of course it's possibleView attachment 88158
I wouldn't be surprised if the NHC shifts the path a bit further north at 11 PM since TVCN went up north.
 
I really question whether this is gonna over Hispaniola. This is coming in stronger and better organized than Fred which invites a more northerly track to start with. Also the ridge to the north isn’t as strong. The NHC is already trending a tad north with in its forecast track.
 
It’s going to miss the mountains. If anything it’ll be close enough to use them as builder and help strengthen the storm without actually going over those mountains.
I was just about to add about this to my earlier comment. The forecast track right now has shifted to going just across the northern edge of the island. If it were to stay just north of there, the proximity of the mountains would actually help enhance thunderstorm development.

Maybe but she has a small circulation so that would help her squeeze by instead.
