From Henry Margusity's block at AccWeather...does he know what he's talking about? He was hyping Gabby big time, so his recent tropical predictions have been off mark:

We are heading toward a change in the overall weather pattern, one that might even put a damper on the tropical season for the U.S. The mean trough position as per the GFS will end up in the Eastern part of the country which means a series of cold front will head southeast. Parts of the northern Plains into the Great Lakes and Northeast could be facing the first frosts the next two weeks as the cool air masses come on down. It also means that any tropical systems will be blocked by the strong jet from heading to the East and Southeast. I guess one could say that leaves the door open for Texas for any tropical systems, but then again, it would have to be a Gulf of Mexico development on the tail end of ending front for that to occur.
