Thought that was a large stretch of coastline under a Hurricane Watch. It's clear that the forecast continues to be a below average confidence one--as they are allowing for a more western route while warning the folks all the way to the Panhandle.
Even if this latest track is dead on, the area for a hurricane watch should be quite large. See the winds at:

Nope, recon has been out there for the last couple of hours, that is where those center fixes came from (another one came in just a little while ago). Not sure why no vortex message yet, but they might not have been out there long enough.

No..What you see out there now is deceiving though. The trough that was pulling a little more north earlier has weakened and started to pull out. That is allowing the NW motion to resume. That should continue until gets fairly close to the coast with a turn N then maybne NNE at the very end. The models are really starting to come to an agreement.

Do not focus on the point of landfall, errors on the future track may be large. All areas in the Hurricane Watch need to prepare.

Not going northwest? East of last fix? Look at the vis-ir loop and explain the movements. Seriously, don't watch a color-enhanced IR that spins cloudtops. Look at the real deal

Recon is at the storm. For some strange reason they flew down the west side and back north.

JK you have a very good point. Folks, if you live near the beach, bays or water, in the Hurricane Watch area, check your evacuation level.
Bay County FL, has been mentioned on . 11ft waves an hour ago at the East Gulf buoy. Could be some real high waves way before gets near.

JK where did the have the track???
That seems fairly reasonable to me. I don't think the track is going to change much anymore.

From when this starts to when it stops it looks like a more westerly component has been added. Maybe it just looks that way because it's a WV.

Thats true. Our local guy just showed a graphic of the ocean waves coming from . The outer bands alone are causing 15 foot waves. Kinda disconcerting because the bands look awfully close to the Keys now.

Correct Jason,,looks like most of the models have gone alittle to the east by 40-80 miles ( matters what models we look at). I would think that position for the might shift alittle east at the 5am adv. Also a side note.....interesting thru 84 hours on Jeanne.

Recon is at the storm. The radar eye fix is the Present center of the storm at the time of their observation. The storm is moving slowly so the numbers change every few minutes.
The Recon Eye Fix is accurate to 0.1nm, per the observation, which is as close as you can get.

Seems like the shift east would put them more in line with the current forecast since it was east of the model consensus. Is my logic correct?
