True, people should always keep a wary eye on any cyclone especially when traveling over warm waters.
I found in general forecasters have consistently under reported the maximum intensity. One would think about 1/2 the time it would be over estimated and 1/2 the time under estimated. I question whether politics plays apart in under reporting since forecasters don't want to cry wolf.
One thing I noted in Forecast 1 was in addition to the standard rider about long term position is subject to error there was a statement about intensity error.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK. NOTE...ERRORS FOR TRACK HAVE AVERAGED NEAR 150 NM ON DAY 4 AND 200 NM ON DAY 5...AND FOR INTENSITY NEAR 15 KT EACH DAY.

Hope this avoids SWFL. Still tons of debris just stacked and sitting for waste management pickup. We get high winds here and it will be a HUGE problem.
We're only on "N" but I feel like we've gone through the whole alphebet. Lol.
Anyway... Nate is expected to have a significant increase in forward speed next few days.
.
Strengthening is likely once the center moves over the northwestern
Caribbean Sea tonight and Friday, and Nate could be near hurricane
strength as the center approaches the Yucatan Peninsula.
