Computer models have produced significant changes this afternoon. One of the better models has the storm stalled in the NW Caribbean between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba for five days. Others continue along the previous forecast.
Thus, the NHC has slowed down the forecast track, while still maintaining essentially the same direction for now. Max Mayfield said the longer it stays in the Caribbean, the more opportunity for weakening.
Both Wilma and FR have slowed down quite a bit, so I'm wndering if Jim Robinson is running some sort of beneficial weather machine with the power of FR. Even if he can keep it out in the Carribean for 4 or 5 days, it still does not look good.
I find it absolutely stunning that there is some possibility that Florida could escape this storm entirely. I'm not sure I buy that.
It looks more to me like she'll clobber the Mayan Sun Coast and lose some strength over the Yucatan, but re-emerge with with a Florida destination. I guess we'll know before long.

Checking in. Thanks for the ping!
My brother looked at some spaghetti models on line and a blue spaghetti line was right over their house. I don't know how he did that but just imagine! I got all my supplies today, Oreo cookies, candy, pringles, etc. and I filled up the tank. I also bought canned goods but I'd rather write about the Oreos in my hurricane plan. Double Stuff.
