Venerable local forecaster Tom Terry is saying this could be an unprecedented event. The center of the cone passes directly over Orlando. No major (Cat 3) storm has ever hit the Florida east coast as far north as Orlando. With the current forecast, the storm will likely continue all the way across the peninsula as a Cat 2 with 100mph or higher winds, emerging into the Gulf where it may re-intensify.
Terry says the model that had the storm recurving up to the north has moved closer to the other models, and the chances of major changes in storm path are rapidly shrinking.
Terry has a history of forecasting path changes before NOAA, so I tend to trust him.
Hope my new post-Irma roof holds up. Hello, global warming!
