I would like to empathize that while most of the guidance shows some weakening over the next day or two, all guidance that keeps Irma away from Cuba shows significant strengthening once in the Southern Bahamas. I wouldn't be lowering awareness if recon finds that Irma has weakened slightly. It should still be a cat 4 on approach to Florida, and that could be conservative.

Yeah, at hours T+192, T+216, and T+240....I suspect that if the U of Albany graphic went out to those leads, Euro would continue it's dominance.  The stats don't lie.

Not just hour 192.

It's been erratic with anything past hour 72.

It's getting to the Point where some of the consensus models don't matter because the Euro is so dominant (I really wish the Euro ensemble mean was on that chart, though). 

It's so good it's getting boring - witness the immense resistance in this thread to Euro dominance. 

When a given run has a divergence between the OP and EPS, the very next OP run moves to what the EPS had in the run 12 hrs earlier. Like we saw how the 0z OP shifted just north of Cuba like the 12Z EPS mean had.

Except for the fact that it's wrecking everything else in verification, even at hour 120. Does the verification link really need posted for the thousandth time?  The math says ECMWF is best, so I trust it the most.

What's the basis for calling this the most powerful Atlantic storm on record? I thought it was number 2.

Yeah, I was wondering this myself... even if you don't recognize Allen's record, it's still in a three-way tie. I guess the writers and mets calling it #1 are either applying their own intensity estimates or employing some technicality (like not including the GoM or Carib) to use the catchphrase.

clickbait...first we have to segment the basin in a new way, then we can make the sensational claim!

Stop this ****!  Really, it makes you look foolish and clutters the thread!
