Isabel may take it's time to make it close to the east coast

If it does get close to the east coast of the US this major cane will take it's time traveling the atlantic and because of the slow motion all the people will have days of tension looking at the track and asking where it may go but because of the slow motion that Isabel is moving there is plenty of time to prepare and not leave it to the last moment when the rush is not good.Let's hope Isabel goes out to sea and not bother anyone.

That is important Luis. She is a slow mover. Usually this would mean she'd hang out lon enuf for a pattern change, usually a trough to come in and whisk her away out to sea. However, right now a trough IS over the east with short waves rotating around it. So we're sitting here not going to get an amplifying trough next week, but a re-building ridge. $54,000 question is: Does she wait long enuf for a trough behind the re-building ridge??? She's moving pitifully slow right now. Anyone check the forecast forward speeds over the next 7 days??
