Trying and Failing

Ike has resumed the westward motion, the GFDL forecast which went just over the northern edge of Cuba has shifted to over Cuba into the Caribbean, and the global models have shifted even further west into Texas during the 12Z runs (which I had not looked at when I last posted). Hopefully the westward trend continues (in the United States perspective), but there is still the possibility the storm turns west-northwest fully before reaching the Cuban coast. Nothing is in stone just yet.
