    To the bolded above, why are teachers the only profession being forced back?  No other occupation is demanding someone to go back to work and the certainly don't get paid to be essential. There is increased risk as well to the nature of in person school with 15 ppl in one room for up to 7 hours a day.  Most of that is against all CDC guidelines.

    They are essential and should be absolutely paid as such, and it should have been that way well before COVID hit. Unfortunately we will learn the hard way in 5-10 years when we see the real tragedy of this virus through how it impacted this generation of kids and ultimately the country..

    Virus transmission is a high risk for teachers in general, whether it be COVID or anything else, any of which could be deadly given unique circumstances.

    The last two GFS-P runs are quite interesting.  Both runs take a strong hurricane into the Florida straits and does a zigzag/loop near Cuba/Florida keys with multiple impacts in the same areas.  Any chance this can actually happen?

    Its the GFS.. rhetorical question?

    It is. It's just not RIing, which seems to be a trend on this thread (either the storm must ri or weaken). The windspeeds on the last pass through the eyewall are up a touch again. What you're seeing there with the 2 mb differences does not actually play a major role in terms of estimating minimum pressure. 2mb can be because your dropsonde (or plane) didn't perfectly hit the exact center of the storm. The trend overall with the pressures is they're approximately holding steady with winds perhaps up 5 knots. We've seen storms increase wind speeds before without dropping pressure. It isn't currently strengthening but it isn't weakening either. Typical non RI hurricane intensification can go like that. You inch up, then steady, then up more, then steady. Less rocket, more stairs. 

    Edit: 2mb is statistically bordering on non significant, but 10 mb would be. Hence, if you see a big swing, assuming it gets duplicated, that's real.
