I certainly do hope you are correct. I was a lot happier with the original "dissipate" forecast I saw.

With a slower forward speed it will buy time for the high to move east and let the storm stay offshore.

Yeah, I have seen it slowing down concerning the forward motion. Would be real nice if it just parked itself out in the Atlantic and then swung north away from all land.

LOL!! I think you are hitting this one right on the nose.

They seem to be really hyping this one up before the "WHEW!! That was a close one!! Ain't that global warming a bitch?".

I'm up at 3:30 and the only news on was CNN and they we're saying possible cat 5 and most of eastern Florida could be destroyed .
At 4am our local station which has been dead nuts from day one gave their forecast .We're completely out of harms way in southwest Florida .We may get an inch of rain and light winds .The eye of the storm may not even hit land at least Florida .

CNN = Fake News Network, IMHO. If they said it was daylight out, I would have to go to a window to check on it. Did they happen to accuse Trump of being at blame for any damages?

Anyway, yeah, the "official" forecast track is pushing the storm further east with landfall *maybe* in South Carolina or North Carolina.

There is a 11:00am update that shows virtually the same path.
