The image above is the latest (5PM Tuesday) official forecast track from the National Hurricane Center.

Models:

GFS High Resolution Operational- I’m very concerned for Florida’s Space Coast as I expect a major storm surge there due to the orientation of Brevard county. Notice the GFS is on board with the European model in looping Matthew back to the south and possibly re-crossing the state of Florida early next week.

Here in Washington we have dodged a bullet. 

You can donate to the American Red Cross to help those unfortunate souls that have been or will be impacted by this devastating, powerful, Hurricane.

    Track and time of year is similar to Hurricane King during October 1950. King hit south Florida as a major hurricane (125 mph sustained winds) and brought wind gusts of 82 mph all the way up to Jacksonville.
