Ya know, for a weak storm at durinal minimum, this storm is not doing too bad. I see this becoming at least a 70 mph. storm at landfall due to durinal minimum. Yes, the center in right in the southeast convection. A few more storms in that area would already make it 50 mph. at best. This is going to be one interesting night. What's also interesting is that storms that move out to sea from the Carolinas strengthens, Alex (2004) and Gustav (2002). Hurricane Gustav as I've been mentioning throught this whole storm is the twin to Gabrielle. Check out the track

I guess I do see how this "could" become a minimal Hurricane due to the recent blow up and durinal max later on tonight, but chances are very low. Don;t be surprised though.. remember Wilma?
