The Weather Channel is holding to their original tracking. The eye is west of Miami but they just showed a graphic of it turning around to head back east to hit Miami.
Heh, just a few hours ago I made the same observation in a text to my cousin. "Right out of Hell, I SAW it..."
Here we are hoping for a more movement west .
It’s a odd storm with many surprises .
To date, they have been very good. They predicted Harvey's landfall near Corpus Christie and they were off by only 50 miles...not too shabby, as well as, accurately predicting 50 inches of rain. And so it was.
Thanks - cool image, but what I actually want is a plot of the center’s track, maybe in 30 minute increments...
That applies all too well...
Still winds at 125mph
Still moving west along the coast of Cuba.
sees to be undergoing gan eye wall replacement again..winds down a bit
LOCATION...23.3N 80.8W
ABOUT 30 MI...45 KM ENE OF VARADERO CUBA
ABOUT 110 MI...175 KM SE OF KEY WEST FLORIDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...120 MPH...195 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 290 DEGREES AT 7 MPH...11 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...932 MB...27.52 INCHES
And NOAA radar out of Key West shows the same trend. Look like Irma has finally made its turn.
Just found two tweets from meteorologists independently suggesting the feared rapid/explosive intensification is now underway.
That's my house it's moondancing around for 3 days in that big circle (worse: Nashville will be flooded, big time).
Dang it... wrong browser window!

With "tens of millions of dollars of supercomputers", you just get more garbage out -- faster...
That is one of the major problems with "Climate Change": an infinitesimal error in starting assumptions (or ignoring a single other influencing factor) yields mountainous error after projection. And, the farther out you try to project, the worse the error and divergence gets.

Nobody (with "tens of millions of dollars of supercomputers") can predict where that huge hurricane will be one day from now. What makes them think that "tens of millions of dollars of supercomputers" can help them forecast the effect of an infinitesimally small change in the infinitesimally small fraction of the atmosphere that is CO2 -- and extend that asinine forecast out across DECADES?
That's especially true when they start with the asinine assumption that a minuscule micro-fraction of a single gas in the entire atmosphere actually affects the whole in any measurable manner -- without tracking the effects of every other possible atmospheric component -- at the same time..
MOOSAKE!!!
Physical chemist sends...
blah...blah...blah
They were only 50 miles incorrect with Harvey and they accurately forecasted 50 inches of rain, but there is always someone who wants to pretend they are smarter and loves to trash someone or a group that actually makes a difference.
Thank you for your prayers. The US military flew Americans to Puerto Rico ahead of the arrival of hurricane Jose. We are all very relieved.
