Look at the Northwest portion of the U.S. I don't think this will continue westward and southwestward.

I find it very hard to believe this will go W into NE Mexico. A decent front should be approaching the N GOM Thursday. I would expect this front to force a much more N motion by Tuesday.

That is quite an impressive trough. Kind of reminds me of a Rita scenario.

It sure does. It's "almost" a given that the track will shift north. Of course though...the NHC's track is the one to follow.

I wish we would get a cold front. Not that I want it to pick up a tropical system and send it in my direction, but they said a cold front was supposed to come down this week. Did not get this far down to the coast. Because we are still hitting near 90 degrees.

not to mention, it will have the perfect conditions for rapid intensification, the further it stays in the water, the stronger it may become

Rita's 5 day was at Brownsville, then south of Corpus, then Galveston. And we know where it did hit. The NHC wont have a good idea until tomorrow. The models seem to be on another planet right now.

main problem with a bust to the east is that the storm would be coming through "virgin" waters undisturbed by rita. man, this could be bad if this pulls a rita with a shift that far east. could you imagine the psych issues caused on upper tx coast????

From the 11am disco: "The available NHC model guidance is in
fair agreement on the cyclone moving west-northwestward for the
next 72 hours as the broad but weak subtropical ridge along the
northern Gulf Coast remains intact through the forecast period. The
forecast track is a blend of the 3 BAM models... plus the GFS and
UKMET solutions."

Since the track is based on the "3 BAM models" which I thought were not so good about 20N...the GFS (which is just now picking up on the system) and the UKMet...which are only in "fair agreement" and there is only a "broad but weak...ridge", I would not be too surprised to see future tracks turn drastically more northward...the system is not even supposed to get into the Bay of Campeche...but emerge on the north (not west) coast of the Yucatan...plus we're in October...does anyone else think the system will not stay south?

my point exactly. models have been overestimating ridge, which is not unexpected given the time of the year.

The SST's are not even close to what Rita and Kat went thru..

The outflow seems to be getting better and better with every image.

another thing with track is you always need to take into account the possibility of center relocation which has happened a lot this season with developing cyclones

Exactly......Cindy was in a similiar state and position when she crossed the Yuc and reformed her center further north and east afterwards.
