I can't believe that I forgot the Holy Grail of Hurricane tracking...

Anyway...Neil, it looks like the experts are floating towards the GFDL model which is the blue line in the graphic I posted.
On a side note...it has a 957mb pressure reading, which equates to a CAT-3 hurricane...but the surface winds are 90mph which is CAT-1. Once the surface winds catch up to the pressure...it's going to get nasty. I suspect when it gets well into the Gulf and feeds on the warm loop currents it will get the highest reading.
