That's what it's doing pretty much. But what did Barbara in mostly was the shear. Also Don't forget Barbara was tracking west earlier in the season where SST's in the tropics are still playing catch up. Right now the 27C isotherm appears to be just south of the Hawaiian islands which means there's support for a hurricane moving from the EPAC to the CPAC as long as it stays near 15N.
