Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

Another point to think about in the track is the two bubbles of high pressure - one over Fl and ! still west of Rita over E texas- is that as the western high moves east there could be a little more southerly pressure on rita's track as the high approaches. This could push her away from the highest heat content waters in the loop and eddy areas of the gulf.

still no realistic indication of a sudden major change in the track
