In what might eventually be more a psychological blow than a meteorological one, there's a decent chance that Hurricane Matthew could loop back full circle for a second, unwelcome visit to South Florida next week, meteorologists says. Still, the National Hurricane Center's five-day forecast shows a now-tropical storm Matthew making three quarters of the loop by Tuesday morning. One of the two major computer models that meteorologists use on — the American GFS model — has Matthew doing a full circle and crossing into South Florida sometime Tuesday. In the unlikely event that Matthew remains at hurricane strength for its second Florida landfall, it would be the first time a single hurricane hit Florida twice since 1935, Klotzbach says. And if that's not enough, when it starts to make the circle it will hit strong upper level dry winds that will decapitate the storm, Masters says.
