Hurricane Isabel continues to move off toward the WNW, as clear as day the remnants of what was Henri are collapsing and beginning to lift out. IMO this is what caused Isabel to head WNW and it started yesterday, the influence or weakness caused by the remnants is the only reason Isabel was following, ( path of lease resistance) Isabel will no longer be channeled toward that, as influence is lessening now and is being replaced by the extending Western Atlantic Ridge hence the more longer wobbles westward, and believe me there is plenty of Ridging there with a re load to boot. I expect Isabel to once again begin a strengthening faze this evening. I am not looking for a strike North of NC, the strike will be South of that beam. As promised I will try and lay out the thinking before the Official Discussion comes out. I also expect the Government of the Bahamas to issue a Hurricane Watch for the NW Islands sometime later tonight.

I'm sure the National Hurricane Center recognizes the ridge in the Atlantic. Of course they are watching satellite loops and other date that indicates the goings not only in the Atlantic, but north and west of the storm.
Also, they have mentioned the ridge in their Tropical Weather Discussions and see at this time that Isabel will make a more northerly turn.
