This will be the place for all TBH'ers to wish this storm completely away from us. Hopefully Irma does not even come close to sniffing the Gulf.
With that said, the trend as of now is showing a stout ridge keeping Irma on a west or even west southwest heading which I do not like. Here is the NHC's cone below.
The Euro model for 5 or so consecutive runs has kept Irma on this track. The latest run has Irma plowing into Hispaniola then Cuba on what looks to be on it's way into the Gulf of Mexico.(see image below)
The past couple of days the GFS model has had Irma going out to sea but little by little it is creeping Irma more west (more ridging, ULL less influence). The latest GFS model run now has Irma making landfall as a major hurricane along the east coast....trending to the west. (see image below)
Obviously way to early to know what Irma has on her mind but with the latest trends it is worth mentioning so we can monitor the situation.
