>> According to the 06Z GFS forecast, that's exactly what is going

>>in Miami next Wednesday. It will hang around for a few days,
>>strengthen, drift over to Nasau, and then strengthen further.

>> This is going to be very interesting to watch.

>>> The 1100 EDT NHC forecast has Matthew making a broad clockwise

>>>we saw this sort of path earlier with TS Julia. This is going to
