Interesting fact.

 

But given CMAS/WEA went operational in 2012 this would make for the first major landfall with the system.... obviously, there is no way to nail down just how this may affected the local populations, without a doubt it will save some lives.

 

Wonder what technological advancements we will start leveraging next to inform the populace.

CMAS/WEA isn't going to be 100% effective.  The technology wasn't mandatory in phones manufactured before 2010 so the market saturation won't be near complete until after 2021.  Also, refub phones have had a tendency to have the WEA technology become disabled which dilutes the program's effectiveness.  Hurricane statements aren't WEA capable either.  That has to be covered under a Local Area Emergency (LAE) send by the county government.  Only 60% of counties nationwide are IPAWS ready.

GFS wants to take Matthew West of or just over Bahama's West Side Nat'l Park. Farthest West it's been in a few runs. Imo, that will be the threshold for a FL landfall....track on the Western side of that isle or to the West will virtually ensure a FL landfall. To the east, still potential LF but obviously a lower chance.

One of the highest temperature spreads in/out of the eye. Combined with the comments above it does appear we may be on our way toward a more significant organization attempt.

Please read

This thread is going way to fast and its hard to get good analysis from professional mets and people with a good background in meteorology.  Please don't ask what is going to happen in my backyard or newbie questions.  If you don't have something of merit to add, then just read and don't post.  Too important of a weather event to have a ton of people with no basis in fact to be posting meaningless banter.

Matthew may also provide us with our first issuance of an Extreme Wind Warning (EWW). These are only issued for the landfall eyewall of a category 3 or greater hurricane. This product replaces the old standard of issuing a tornado warning for a eyewall landfall. 

More details on the Extreme Wind Warning product at http://products.weather.gov/PDD/EWW.pdf
