Things don't look very promising right now but don't give up.
Here is an example which went the 'wrong'way.
Back in 88 we went to bed one Thursday night knowing that a small cat 1 storm was nearby. Forcasters confidently told us that it would miss us by a safe margin.
I get a call at 6AM saying that the storm has dramatically changed direction & headed straight at us. 6:30 dawned with light breezes. No hint of what was to come. 8:00AM we had a full blown hurricane on our hands. 8:30 the eye passed over us. 10 minutes later all hell was breaking loose again. 10:30AM it was bright & sunny with only light breezes again.
Emily was the fastest traveling storm in history moving at something like 30kts.
Moral of story: Never try to judge a hurricane with confidence any more than 24 hours at a time.
