I’ve got friends in FL, not near Miami thank god more closer to Daytona somewhat inland but this forecast is crucial.  Isn’t the Euro basically the best at this range?  Should we be favoring the Euro over the GFS and other models at this point?  What are the differences that are causing this 50-75 mile difference in track?

Got to decide whether they need to go or can hunker down and wait it out...

As said multiple times earlier,  don't pay attention to the modeled wind speeds, their gonna be off.

That's an MSLP map, not a wind speed map?

yes it is... sorry kind of easy to misunderstand with IRMA threatening to blow the front door and roof from your home.  Thanks for clearing my blondish moment  ^_^

FWIW, the Euro 'gusts' product is showing gusts probably 120-130, takes the center of the eye just to the west of Boynton Beach.

From what I can tell, through 48 hours the euro is just faster and farther south with the track, so at 72 hours it has made it farther west before the turn arrives.  Also, this run, the euro slides the northeast trough eastward quicker, which appears to allow Irma's north turn to be a bit less sharp than what the GFS is showing.
