a more westerly move? He's looking like a classic 'Cane again. Still don't see a terribly strong trough.

More bad news for those who live in Bermuda as Fabian is doing a last intensification phase before it passes that island.No those are wobbles that you are looking at dixie but the general motion is NNW but with a more fast foward speed.

Here's a 500mb pattern and you'll notice with the combination of the 500mb vort/trough dropping down from Canada, combined with a vort max (not depicted) that was the remnants of Grace plus, now our current Tropical Depression #12 in the Eastern GOM has effectively set up a fence or a roadblock along the East Coast for Fabian ...

Well put SF. The weather systems along the east coast are like a door opening and closing as far as tropical systems go. The last few days it was open, but no TC available to come thru. Now the door has been slammed shut, and Fabian can't get thru. Thats why its rare for a Cape Verde storm to strike the east coast...too many gauntlets for them to run thru for them to make it.
