I'm kinda suprised she strengthened at all with all that dry air ahead of her.

o.k., looking at that picture, I am wondering: Shes kinda out there on her own with no visable steering current I see Gordon above and a front off the east. Once she reached that area will she be drawn twords that space or will the front be gone and gordon be gone by then? What is currently steering her?

I made a 12Z model plot. As usual, minus the BAM runs, LBAR, climo, and extrapolated tracks. Only the dynamic models are shown. The two tracks west of 60W (before recurve) are variations of the GFS. Good news is that the GFS has given up on an east coast threat and now recurves Helene east of Bermuda.

Oops! Had the wrong link in there.

WXMAN or mod -- Might want to edit that post above with the model plot link to have "url" instead of "img" tags.
