Yep! What was it last time?

I think it was 290 heading, and 7 mph...

Now, it's 305 and 5 mph.

Stalling, and transitioning more northward. The forecasting for Harvey was AMAZING. The forecasting for Irma has been tougher... but, really, they've only missed this turn by around 12 hours. That's the difference between East and West coast of Florida.

If it is 305 that is a good 15 degrees. Anyone on the W. coast be warned. Panhandle should prepare.

“The forecasting for Irma has been tougher... but, really, they've only missed this turn by around 12 hours. That's the difference between East and West coast of Florida.”

Seeing how difficult it is to model a hurricane and make short-term predictions using real-time data from satellites, Doppler radar, real-time air and water temperature and barometric pressure measurement, ocean buoys, and flights by highly instrumented airplanes, exemplifies why long term predictions on climate change (involving many more unknowns and variables) are very difficult to get right.
