http://www.hurricanecity.com/betsy.htm - sorry if you saw this link from another post - but I believe it's well worth checking out - because it shows that anything is possible. . . .

And, it's not *too* far off from Andrew.

Thank you Mattie, I was searching for Betsy's path to compare.

It's rather similar also:

You are welcome - someday I'll learn how to post pictures :-)

The stronger she becomes the more she will influence the atmosphere around her. My guess is she will begin to build a bit of high pressure to her ne which will feed back deflecting the north turn she wants to make.

Have a question for ya. I have been told all my life the a hurricane will not go to a high but it would go around one but not to it. As this map show it is going to it. If the old timers (I mean the really old timers in the south here) are right then it would go W or wsw or even NE. This way some one can get me the right answer here. and not old wives tails

Thank
Deb

As has been said in numerous other posts in the talkin tropics forum the high is expected to erode on its N and E side and thus allow Katrina to move in a more NWerly and then Northerly and possibly even Nely direction.

Look at this WV loop, the NE side is eroding. and the High is migrating WSW. The storms building in SE GA if they hold together and move in the direction of the GREAT state of AL, then it will be evidence of a weakness. Clouds in MS are moving Due S. , but the clouds over NE GA are moving to the east.

Also note the trough digging in North of TX. I believe is setting up as NHC is saying.
