Lets hope there is nothing coming from the west to steer it toward here.

If it follows the latest track and emerges into the Gulf just off the western tip of Cuba this weekend residents in a large of the area of the Gulf will have one heck of a headache a few days later....

I fear that it will come around Cuba, off the Yucatan, then sit in the Gulf while it builds and tries to decide where to go next.
Sometimes, you just get a bad gut feeling

It will go into Texas or Mexico

High presure should build over the SE and block it by the predicted track

just my opinion of course

I didn't mean go through the Yucatan, but rather between Cuba and the Yucatan. Putting it out in the Gulf. Hopefully, it will stay away for a bit. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

On the flip side. also just as rare is that one gets this far north and continues on to the west. They all turn north or northeastward.....
The ones that go through the Yucatan are further south at this point....
This one looks like a replay of the 1851 storm, which also was a cat 3 at landfall near Panama City (Which was not there then

).
It don't look to good....

It will not be going to old mexico, it will hit between N.O. and Pensecola. The feds are already staging personnel in Mobile for disaster relief. I don't like it, but dat's the truuf.

They have moved the cone of danger further to the west.
