I don’t know what time Limbaugh made this statement but the very latest track of this storm is showing it taking a sharp Eastward turn out into the Atlantic.
Latest has it making a U-turn, so it might just end up hitting Florida twice.
The major models (Euro, GFS, CMC, NAVGEM) all show it retrograding; making some degree of southward motion like it's trying to make a loop.
Whereas before the models showed a northeast turn out into the Atlantic, The 18Z GFS shows it weakening and looping back around to toward the Bahamas at tropical storm strength, then Cuba and the Yucatan channel. Possibly because of a Fujiwara interaction with a forecast low center to the east of it. Crazy.
Rush’s show starts at 11:00 am cst and runs for 3 hours. He has the first transcripts usually posted a couple of hours later
