GFS around Lesser Antilles
Posted by Chris in Tampa on 9/1/2017, 5:13 pm
"Residents in the Lesser
Antilles should monitor the progress of Irma through the weekend and
listen to any advice given by local officials."

"The biggest change
since the last forecast is that the GFS and its ensemble has
trended southwestward, toward the unwavering ECMWF model on the
track forecast."
