850bm and 700mb vort have become significantly better aligned when compared to last night.

The 500mb level is still a bit displaced to the south.

(As of 15 UTC)

Rotation is easily discernible, with a pivot a bit south of 16N on a visible loop. These structural changes are probably the start of steady intensification later today.

Not sure if it is the crappy graphic output of the GGEM, but it looks as though a fist LF is in the everglades...needless to say the East Coast can take one hand off the "preparations book"....

No, you're right, it does. And technically the NAM is the right outlier taking it to just E of MIA, LOL.

Yep, haven't sent a VDM, but it looks like they fixed a L/V center with 1004 mb pressure around 15.6N, 66.5W.

Euro has been in a boat in the GOM for the last 3 days....casting a line over the FL pennisula and reeling in one model at a time....of course all that reeling has moved the boat a bit toward the fish!! :P

Yup funny how when you write it off for its performance this season it all the sudden hits a homerun.

Something to note, although the models seem to be comging to a consensus with regards to track, the spread with regards to intensity is still very large. Note that the SHIPS model is very aggressive and peaks out at catagory 3 intensity in only 84 hours. I don't have the track of the 12z SHIPS but I'm guessing the track avoids Hispanolia and spends minimal time over Cuba.

Getting the impression from recon that this isn't organizing much at all despite better looks... going to have a hard time becoming a hurricane before hitting Hispaniola, which may be more favorable for Isaac to survive the island since storms with tight inner cores generally have the worst time. I don't think this will organize nearly as fast as the NHC is calling for after it's done with the mountains either, this reminds me of Ernesto 2006.

That doesn't take land into account.

You need to look at the DSHIP.
