Looks like it's making its turn now and a little faster. Water vapor shows the center faster along than currently forecast

 

it definitely has more of a NW look the last couple hours vice just a wobble but I am assuming it doesn't seem to make much difference when it comes to track at this point

Wish I was down there, I'll have to pay Josh to take me to one of those famous tropical cyclones he always chases.

Certainly would be an adrenaline rush. Think I'd rather be on a mainland getting hit than a small island, though. Must be downright scary to essentially have no escape that isn't by boat. 

Meanwhile - 

Bernie Rayno saying out to sea is more likely now. 

Really I guess as ers said a few posts up - it's going to come down to the exact track I suppose. We need to see if the S movement stopped early enough and if the N/NW movement stars soon enough to get a capture. These are the times I think I'm glad I changed my major ;)

Look at the bright side:  Having the hurricane go OTS correlates with better winter prospects.  If there is any causation behind this correlation (unlikely), I'm happy rooting for the long term play!

 

It's because the fuzzy caterpillars don't get blown away...

12z Ukie is further east...fully OTS camp now. It's the GGEM and GFDL vs the rest of the world now. I wouldn't place my bets on that combo.

I love the CMC. I Really do. It always shows you want you want to see. The only problem is that its never right
