FRONT TO BUMP IZZY..info on it?

[john186292]

Pls, anyone who knows, give a link or relay words about the strength, present location and future track of the front/trough that has just passed Louisiana and is headed for a fateful rondevous with Izzy.
EDIT..adding now that i have seen a prediction of a good front, to south tip texas level, into GOM. see the other copy of this post for link...somehow my edited version did not replace the orig, just appeared as a copy on the board. sigh.
Now the original and alarming graphic, which i hope was wrong...tho the reply below seems to validate....
//// I saw all too briefly a local met graphic that seemed to show the front on tues. as getting to fla., but seemed to be angling northward, with the characteristic frontal line going about thru Jacksonville. Is this southerly enough to affect Izzy? Will it still trigger a train of air events that will pull Izzy north? Was my brief glimpse of a graphic in error? Will other factors, like that UUL that some mention, do the job?
ASIDE... Why can't someone get NHC to stop using knots in Izzy's forward motion, and start using the comphrensible mph? Me, with two degrees, dont even know if knots is a way of saying nautical miles..they sound the same. So Joe average must really have no clue what NHC means by knots. I sure dont.
Thanks,
john Louisiana

I understand the front approaching the east coast, from Louisiana is expected to slow down even more and washout over northern Florida. Another frontal system is moving into the northwestern U.S. and is expected to move Isabel northward, which I don't think it possible being so far away.

No matter where Isabel goes, the ridge is certainly going to play a role in "her" movement.


The National Hurricane Center gives mph and knots in their advisories.

1 kt = 1.15 mph
.869 of a knot = 1 mph

Well if this helps I know that the Front is suppose to come through south texas friday afternoon if it does not stall approx. 200 miles north of here that is a possibility also I understand. But I have no idea how that will affect Izzy.
