Sure, it is definitely possible, but at this time I think Florida and then the northern Gulf coast east of TX has the greatest chance of facing an impact from 97L. The ridge just does not look *that* strong to me (compared to a Dean/Felix ridge for example), and will have periods of weakness ( http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... 0_042l.gif ) that should be adequate enough to keep the system moving on a general WNW course over the next few days. A couple of NW wobbles cannot even be completely ruled out from time to time.Ivanhater wrote:Remember even the Euro was breaking down the ridge just the same last night as the other models. I see no reason (at this time) to think Texas is plausible. Things could and probably will change though

Everyone thought Ike was going for Florida too, but we all know where it ended up making landfall...
Ike was supposed to hit EVERYWHERE at one point or another. East coast of florida, west coast of florida, Louisiana, upper Texas coast, lower Texas Coast, Mid Texas coast, back to upper Texas coast.
