Stormchasers, but they’re Disney diehards that quickly schedule trips in advance of an oncoming hurricane with the hope and expectation it’ll fizzle out and they‘ll be in a near-empty park.

Still WNW, but I'm noticing that it's slowing down. Could start trekking upward.

I don’t think this is expected but could this cross FL, regain some strength in the Atlantic and turn north, becoming a big coastal storm? Or are there other factors at play that will prevent that from happening?
That hasn’t been predicted in days, with the storm expected to mainly move north it’s hard to get back over water before falling apart.

Isn’t it also supposed to get pushed by a cold front? My meteorological understanding is very limited but I thought a cold front was approaching the area this week.
ETA:
I can’t see that front allowing this to have much impact further up the coast.
That’s why it would bump into FL, but because the storm is coming Wednesday instead of Tuesday the front will not be as strong.

5pm update and the track has shifted slightly east. This storm seems like its going to just take its time...
It’s here, in the discussion they talk about how the models diverge so much it’s very difficult. Basically, the European Model follows the eastern edge of the cone while other models follow the western edge and the gfs is the midline. The cones southeastern edge has literally been unchanged for 2 cycles now resulting in a weird shape. Let’s see what 11pm shows. My rental car needs to be canceled by tomorrow morning, so the 11pm run will likely be the decider for me.
In the times I’ve made a reservation for a rental car at times I never even bothered to cancel if I did not go. I was not assessed a penalty.

It is VERY important to remember the cone is where the center of the storm can go, not the effects of the hurricane. This is predicted to be a massive sized storm coming in. Latest models show trends to the east again…likely Tampa or big bend area. Disney will have effects. How much is still to be determined but I expect them to close for a day if things stay as they look and we may see some minor damage depending on the tracks (trees etc)
I have no relation which this site and since this is potentially a life threatening situation for some along the coast I think it will be ok to share….a very good place for up to date information and all the different models and thinking is mikes weather page spaghettimodels.com

True, you see that X on the map, well it’s raining in Cuba already, while clouds are nearly in Central America as well that’s how big Ian is, Orlando is forecasted to get 7-10 inches of rain in the next week due to this system. Again, if things do not change it’s going to be miserable in Florida mid week. Be prepared.
I would be very surprised if airports are open mid week. I would have to agree with you on the parks. It would not be safe for them to operate in upcoming weather.
