Joe Bastardi is very seldom right.

If the track trend continues, it'll stay off the coast. But folks in the Outer Banks should still start thinking about any hurricane preps, just in case.

JB has detractors and praisers - I'm neutral on him, how's that for waffling?

This is what I took away from what I heard him say last night on Fox: there was a cone, it basically covered the state of Florida, and it could go west or all the way right or east.

And, FWIW, the operative word, if that is a quote from Joe B, is "may".
