Looking at the projected track, and using common sense (for a change), it seems to me that there is A LOT of uncertainty about where it makes landfall in FL. With the projected hard right turn, if the storm slows a little, or speeds up a little, it could create a large variance. If the factor that creates the turn changes a bit, it creates a large variance in track.

I guess what I'm saying, is that even though the computer models are very consistent, I think everybody on the west coast of Florida better keep a close eye on this thing. That sharp right turn creates a lot of variables... and when it happens, the storm is supposed to accelerate into landfall.

>>That means it's possible Atlantic coast cities such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach could be hit by winds nearly as strong as the west coast, Cobb said<<

This point needs to be made strongly. If it stays anywhere near the current track, the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area can expect the equivalent of Cat 2 plus winds....
