Hurricane Irma Only thread

NHC does not call it a wobble but a result of the ridge. (Avila might be sleeping :laugh)
Apparently the ridge to the north of Irma has been stronger than
expected, and the initial motion remains westward, or 280/11 kt.

That is a good and safe forecast discussion, leaving the door open.
If the eye continues to move over the Cuban Keys and does not move
inland over the main island of Cuba, then Irma would likely not
lose much intensity during the next day or so.

Let's see how long it will stay over land, how much over land and how the forecast models react to that on the next runs.
 
Any ideas on how much impact the Coral Springs and Margate area will get ?
 
It moved further west. Keep moving west, you bitch!
 
Just woke up. Wow, things have changed. Well, for now at least. Like SoS pointed out, it's not time for SE Florida to put it's guard down. Broward county was supposed to get exactly what Dade county got during Andrew, and we see how that turned out. There's still plenty of time.
