Not a lot of shift in the last 24 hours. The Tues/8 a.m. position is a touch closer to land.
For those who don't recall: I am on the east coast of Florida, so I will get some effects, but this forecast still puts us far from the worst of it.
That said, the actual path could be anywhere in the cone and still be a good prediction. In other words, I won't know it's missing us until after it misses us.
Looks like the main difference between this morning's track and the previous one I posted is the speed of the storm: It will now be, at 2 p.m., where it was earlier predicted to be at 8 a.m. That means it's slowing down and. depending on the water temperature, it will have time to pick up some speed.
At first, one of the models indicated landfall around Brownsville, TX, but now the models seems to be converging on LA. As if they didn't get enough last year. Of course, it's still 3-4 days out. It COULD drift west...
Like an earlier post, this will continually update, so any comment I make may be irrelevant in a day or two. Just noting the disturbance in the Gulf, expected to head to the Florida panhandle.
That's interesting. The low in the Gulf has disappeared, and Mindy appeared off the Georgia coast out of nowhere. Did the Gulf depression just whip across Florida overnight?

We don't name earthquakes, tornados, blizzards, tsunamis?

Seems personal. Like they want to be remembered. I often work to forget names.
Any storm can damage property and take lives. . . . Hurricanes come for the soul . .

For those in the path, please get your prep in!

FWIW.
Stay safe.

No big difference in the path, but who gave this permission to become a hurricane?

I believe that this will update automatically. Maybe not.

Not much going on, though this one is expected to bump Florida, maybe enter the Gulf:

Grace is tracking for northern Mexico, but it doesn't take much of a detour to hit Texas:

Thank you, George. One more thing off my (Raf's) to-do list. :)

Might as well include Henri. It could affect the eastern seaboard.

Sorry I dropped the ball on Henri.
Meet Ida. Or Julian. There are two storms out there, and this one's name will depend on which becomes a Tropical Storm first.
The other one is nothing to worry about from what I can tell. This is the doozy.

Thanks, George.
As of 11:40 am Friday, the cone of Ida (this is Ida) hasn't changed much, though it did become a hurricane a touch sooner than predicted.

Apparently, "Jacob" came and went in the north Atlantic while no one was looking.

Kate's a storm now but is expected to stay in the mid-Atlantic.

Larry could be a major hurricane as early as tomorrow, but seems content to stay away from land.

Here's Nicholas. Not so jolly.
They're predicting it to hug the coast and not get very intense, which is a good thing. This picture should continually update.
