Ana has impressed indeed and the storm has a window of opportunity for today to attain Cat 1 hurricane status. It is close to being one now. I think another convective burst near the center while over the Gulf Stream will probably get Ana to hurricane status briefly during the next 24 hours. Also, I agree with Outerbanker earlier in that Ana may meander offshore long enough in which it is possible it may not make landfall along the NC coast. The storm will get close, but it is just barely drifting north, with a slight northwest bend. Ana may stay off the coast long enough to have the trough catch up to Ana and finally grab it and accelerate it parallel to the coast and keep Ana out to sea by Monday.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!
