Brett Rossio pointed something out that I'm curious about too. That frontal boundary may effect Irma, strength and track wise.

Yeah looks like a fairly pronounced NW jog over the last hour. Models have it taking on a more west track later today for a few hours. Let's see if that really happens .

The more NW jogs we can get the better it will be for Florida

My Mother is flying out of West Palm on Saturday 12:30 eastern time to Atl. this will be a close call for the airport to close down, do you all think it will stay open until Saturday night or Sunday morning.

What would it do for the storm as it head into Carolinas will it strengthen it or weaken it??

Would weaken it and cause the conversion to ET to speed up. Bastardi sees this as dropping to a 4 but then increasing again to a 5 once it gets into the Florida Straits and going sub 900 in pressure before making LF. He also sees Jose making US landfall, probably Fla. but on a much weaker scale

Thats interesting because NHC has Jose getting nowhere near FL and maybe getting close to Bermuda.

doubt that flight gets off the ground. I have a colleague in Germany who was told that Ft Meyers is closing Saturday and Sunday because he and his wife were supposed to fly in for vacation. If they're closing Saturday, I don't see how West Palm stays open
 
TWC showing southeast FL having less than a 50% chance of having hurricane force winds in the next 5 days. That surprises me a little.

That is my concern right now
 
A Hurricane Watch has been issued for the Florida peninsula from
Jupiter Inlet southward and around the peninsula to Bonita Beach,
including the Florida Keys, Lake Okeechobee, and Florida Bay.

We got the last ticket so they say. She is 84 and she doesn't drive much, gas lines are very long and they are running out of gas fast.

I would say you could drive down there and bring her back but the lack of gas may be an issue.
