The NHC turns it more westward after Wednesday, but there's no guarantee it'll be a fish or a U.S. threat.

GFS makes this a fish and turns this system N about 400 miles E of SFL.

Is Texas pretty much safe from storms yet? I thought it might be due to the frounts that are passing through.........least i hope so anyway.

If TD#6 does follow the NHC track, then the GOM might have to possibly watch this too.

No, I'm pretty sure this is not going into the GOM. East Coast.

Not quite yet. I wouldn't count Texas out yet.

But with all this Andrew talk, if it does make an Andrew area landfall, it would cross Florida into the GOM.

Texas not safe until October-ish...Don't think this TD6 will effect Texas but who knows. Cut the Andrew talk.

It is forcast to miss the 60/20 grid point by a fairly wide margin. That is traditionally an indicator that a storm is not going to make it to land although with any individual storm you never know...if the west turn happens and that track continues. Pasch was admittedly very uncertain about the initial conditions so I think it's still too early to have a good idea one way or the other. By Tuesday night things will be a lot more credible with regards to potential track.

Agree 100%, I won't go past 3-5 days. And I'm hesitate to go past 3.

Check Isabel's track. It was north of 20 at 47 and made it in to NC and points north with tons of damage. Ya never know.

I remember it well

At this point, the entire East coast needs to keep an eye on this.

I remember when Isabel was at about this point. I looked at it and said "fish" and yawned. After nearly two weeks with no power, me and the family eating off of Red Cross rations, and cleaning up a big mess in the yard, I learned my lesson the hard way.
