4. I'm hoping it doesn't go in the Gulf

Sep 2017

There is a cold front arriving along the upper GOM coast. It will arrive in South Central Texas on Wednesday. The cold front is also forecast for Pensacola. (Can't remember the day)

I doubt the cold front will dip into S. Florida and I have no idea if it will dip as far south as Orlando.

I'm thinking the cold front will steer Irma away from the GOM. At the very least, it will shear the northern feeder bands.

ETA: Just checked local forecast. I'm a 29.5 degrees N latitude. Low temps are supposed to dip into the low 60s. Average low this time of year is 73. So, it seems like a strong cold front.
