Yes, it may even be why we are seeing her moving more westerly than expected. A deeper storm will erode ridges.

John Neese was just on TWC for the tropical update and he said he thinks Bonnie will go inland on the Western part of the NHC track(AKA, MS/AL, maybe clipping the tip of Louisiana).

Thanks Dean I kinda knew that I guess just a little wishful thinking. Sure looks like your in her path, hope it's not another Opal but it is growing in size, out flow getting better, dry air reducing and warmer water ahead.

Well, the further West Bonnie goes, certainly raises the stakes further West! This is a small system, so the impact area will be very small, but, significant, IMO. I'm thinking more Alabama now with a track through Plaquemines Parish and maybe extreme eastern St. Bernard Parish in Louisiana before more of a pull NE to Alabama. But, as for now, Bonnie continues steady on to the W/NW...
