>>I might as well throw out a prediction....I think it will grow to a CAT 2 or better, and of course...hit Mobile....but that's only cause it will make for an exciting evening and morning....oh, and landfall will be tomorrow around 12 midnight....if it stays out longer than that...then it could be a real juicy one.....

Naturally it's going to hit Mobile

. I missed that eternally optimistic wishcasting for a strong storm. You get a shot at this one, but I don't see Cat-2. Latest WV, IR and VIS all show what appears to be deepening though. The convection is nosing off to the NW while the center remains stationary. Last couple of frames reverse the former, apparent eastward jog and either put it right back where it was or maybe a tad bit north.

Ice up that sixer if you're in AL this weekend.
