Here's the (2AM Run) Google AI model folks. It has performed the best of all the models so far here in 2025. It has also shifted to the west and now is in line with the average of all the models (Black Line). These all remain well south and east of #florida thankfully! Stay with #weshwx for updates.

The trend to the west with #melissa has continued overnight. The AM runs will be coming in soon. The longer this westward trend continues the greater the risk there will be for a major hurricane down the road. Current #NHC forecast is for a CAT2. Stay with #weshwx for updates.
