Some of those were quite bad, like the one showing Irma 300 mi N of PR moving toward the NW.

We need to remove the focus on the centerline. Irma was always within the NHC's cone of uncertainty (meaning their track error was less than the average track error over the last 5 years).

nice gif thing , the guy that made those NHC tracks.

but following up on minesaw's post. 

I've NEVER seen such an expansion of especially tropical storm force winds...hurricane force possibly as well.   Is there a way to check is this is a record, in terms of distance ?

That is very abnormally spread-out ..  friggin Huge.  (the most current part)

Wind History...look how thin it was in the beginning.

We'll be battling these hot takes over the coming days because Irma didn't totally decimate Miami and/or make landfall at a certain point on an arbitrary scale. **** is intellectually void and thus ripe for widespread dissemination.

Sandy's wind field exploded even larger along the East Coast.

It's going to be a pretty successful forecast for them. 

While technically wildly successful (Hell, GFS was only 30mb/60 miles off from LAST MONDAY!); frequenting boards by non-meteorological people showing immense dissatisfaction Miami was not obliterated.

I don't know how expectations of accuracy like Back To The Future 2 can be overcome.  Trying to resist the urge to punch them through the face on the internet, but expect that sort of public reaction.

I'd like to see them not use a center line. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that people focus on that too much, especially non wx types.

I don't think that's lost on them either. When you click on a storm the NHC default is now no centerline forecast, just the cone and points. But it's only natural to draw a straight line between points.

True.  Media outlets could help by not showing a center line, but it seems like many of them still show it.

I know it gets tough with a high stakes system like Irma, but I wish people could keep the morality issues out of these threads.

I mean, you need to understand that its a weather forum, and people are intrigued by exciting weather. I understand that creates a moral conflict, but within this context that is their right. I think with  a calm pulse and clear head, most would admit that a forum of weather nuts is not the place to go to find the vast majority of people wishing big storms away.

No one controls it, and we all hope people do what they need to in order to remain safe.

I don't know if it's the storm... but I CAN tell you everything is blowing off my front porch. And I am in Mobile AL.

Upper level outflow and dynamics associated with the jet streak to Irma's north are now dominating the system as the inner core evaporates approaching Jacksonville. Amazing to watch. Loop: https://weather.us/satellite/800-w-320-n/top-alert-superhd-15min.html#play

I've been watching loops of the IR and it's as if it wants to go back out into the Atlantic. Final frame as of a few minutes ago-
