Here is what Joe B. says
Dangerous, category 4 Hurricane Frances, as of 8 AM EDT, is centered at 21.4 north, 69.1 west, or about 130 miles east of Grand Turk Island; 780 miles east-southeast of West Palm Beach, Florida. Frances is moving toward the west- northwest at 16 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 140 mph. The central pressure is 937 millibars (27.67 inches). A hurricane warning is in effect for the southeastern Bahamas; a hurricane watch is in effect for the central Bahamas. A tropical storm warning remains in effect for the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
Frances is being steered by the ridge, or high to the north. The strength of the ridge, and where the center, or axis of the ridge is located, as the hurricane approaches the U.S., will be critical in determining where this dangerous storm makes landfall. Residents from the Florida Keys to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina need to monitor the progress of Frances, and make preparations. Historically, if you look back at the major hurricanes that have come across the Atlantic, just north of Puerto Rico, they have ended up making landfall in south Florida. On the other hand, the way the weather map, and specifically, the high is expected to look 3 days down the road says that Georgia and the Carolinas need to be concerned, as far as a landfall.
I hope that helps
