If you are in the potential path, panic now and avoid the rush.

Almost 25 years ago I was drunk for a week, kept hearing locals talking about some guy named "Andrew". I learned hurricanes the hard way.

Irma is about eight degrees in latitude further north.  That could make a huge difference in where it goes.  Based upon past storms, it should turn more northerly but maybe not soon enough to avoid impacting the eastern US  seaboard.

It seems to be about two weeks out so give it time.

Last GEFS run.

This shows all of the ensemble members for the run. When it goes all funky and splits apart at the end, that is the ensemble members diverging from each other (the storm itself isn't shattering). Each little red number is a center of low pressure as represented by one of the ensembles. Seems to be a split between Florida and Carolinas, not much going out to sea. You can see what could be a second tropical system following behind.

According to most of the long range Models (GFS, Euro) their is an area of high pressure that should keep this from going out to sea. It is possible that it will suppress the storm and keep it more to the south or inland.

My understanding is that if the high pressure stays it'll slingshot it into the Carolinas.

Dunno. ICW is on the other side from me.
Last week ST.John's looked normal.
But it don't take much. To raise it if south of us gets hammered.
It rained super hard here almost all night last night. Easily 2-4 inches kinda hard.

Problem is how saturated it all is. 

But both sides of SR40 east of 17 have standing water. Those same areas almost crested 40 during 04/05' canes.
Already told my supervisor...if it does I won't be in lol .

I live at the headwaters of the St. John in NE Okeechobee county. Everything that falls here will go North  eventually. Our ponds, canals and drainage ditches have been full for weeks and the ground is saturated. We have had standing water in our yards for weeks.

Yeah GFS is usually pretty bad five or more days out. For some reason however that model has it making landfall in the NY, NJ, CT, RI region in several of their model runs over the last few days. Keeping my fingers crossed its wrong.

The midnight and 6am GFS runs are the scariest so far, storm surge would be a disaster and a lot of wind onshore to places that aren't built for it





not sure I believe the onshore winds in the last one, it has winds penetrating into the interior more than I would expect

Yeah, all these thunderstorms remind me of '04, lots of storms and rain, with a lot of hurricanes.

Then in the years to follow few hurricanes and with less rain/storms.

Now there's more storms and more hurricanes, Makes you wonder if there is a connection? Do the same conditions that make a "good" hurricane season also make lots of rain and thunder storms during the spring and summer for Florida?

The end of that projection has it crossing a "Herbert Box" for a FL hit, but that's 5 days out.   We won't have a solid idea of where landfall might be until probably Tuesday, to see if it curves up or stays south.

A lot of the sites out there use models and such to predict where systems are going to go, but, except for certain conditions, after the 5 day probabiliies, most models fall apart and diverge widely.

that said, it may appear that in 7 days (because this is a forcast also from the nws) there may be some highs that move towards the east, that may sort of start blocking a westward motion of the hurricane, and create a trough of low pressure that might mean it misses the carolinas and the east coast completely

The newer 'disturbance 1' is disconcerting as hell. It appears that it will track into the gulf. 

Irma may put the hurt on the east coast, but if the Gulf Coast of Texas and/or Louisiana takes another hit like 'Depression 1' could do...things will get mega-ugly for the entire nation.
