People need to think before posting. This thread went from Miami to OTS to NC in the space of 10 minutes. Learn how to read models. There's still the trough so you should know it will make that north turn unless that trough is totally gone in a given model run. Then you should know the ridge will build over it and keep the heading NNW into the U.S. coast. If you look at the 168 map you should have a good idea that it's heading somewhere near the Carolinas not Miami and not OTS.

My pointing out of Florida was based upon the prospect of the trough lifting out potentially quicker, inferring what might have come on the next image...

It's more the idea of what if the pattern is just slightly different than modeled.  I would still be plenty concerned if I were in Florida.

The key is the trough. If it pulls out a bit faster and the ridging builds you get Florida, not to mention it S again from 12z. Any more S movement and it increasing the chance of Florida or even shooting the gap.

Bingo, no one said that this is 100% anything tonight but talked about prospects of what could happen if little adjustments happened.
