Forgive my ignorance as I am a casual (but very interested) weather watcher (born from experiencing lots of crazy storms, tornados and the like growing up back east), but I have been wondering something while following this thread.

At this point, what are the chances Isaac stays a TS all the way to landfall?

At this point, with this storm, who knows? It's on the verge on being a historical storm in many ways (length of time as TS, basins covered, lowest pressure) so throw out the rulebook with this one, Lilybeth.

I swear I will never get to sleep with Isaac playing around. I don't think I lost this much sleep with Katrina, Rita, Ike or Gustav. What's a few more minutes. LOL

Rock you know asa soon as you go to sleep it'll resume that NW track so get up outta that chair and fix some coffee.

I think Isaac might be getting trap under that rigde but we'll need a little more jogging.

I think it's just the LLC going retrograde again - it's actually a little NE of the previous position, so either a) it's stalling again b) they didn't get a good center read c) it's spinning counterclockwise again within the CDO or d) it made a hell of a right turn.

I'm thinking 'C'.
