Lots of population clusters all around Florida where there is one bridge out and they will bottleneck if too many wait until late in the game. 

Florida peeps should continue to monitor the NHC track and local officials for evac guidance depending on their specific area.

I agree people should monitor NHC guidance and the Evac of the keys due to the difficulty as far as infastructure. Just seems to me alot of people in Sc/Nc have let their guard down due to all the attention from the media on FL as a definite LF location. Nothing is set in stone and changes will likely occur in the track.

Just posting this for posterity. As an aviation enthusiast, this breaks my heart. Poor Maho Beach :(

After another day of watching Irma, I still think that the Florida-South Carolina area remains at the highest risk of U.S. landfall from Irma (though the larger area at some risk of landfall extends from the Florida Panhandle to the Outer Banks of North Carolina; outside that area the risk seems low). I note the 18z GFS, but it seems to be an outlier both among its ensembles and the other guidance.

 

 

I mostly agree, but still think Florida will be spared the direct hit.  Once the models can fully grasp the strength of the trough along the east coast, IRMA will head north.

GA, SC , NC I feel currently have the best chance of getting a direct hit.

It looks like Antigua may end up on the good side of the eye...especially if it further jogs north.  Barbuda needs a serious north movement and St. Kitts isnt looking good either

Is there a 'good side of the eye' in a Cat5 storm?

I've written some doozy TAFs, but this takes the cake. I think I'd be forecasting a lower vis, but I doubt it terribly matters. Not like there's going to be a way to verify it with a sensor when it's been blown away.

San Juan FCST seems way overdone unless this ends up much further south.
