Re: Igor Forecast Lounge

Checking out the 200-700mb steering layer it seemed the ridging that was NW of Igor was weakening thus allowing a direction change. Now looking at an update of the steering layer there is again ridging building NW of Igor. I dont see a change in direction today. Neither of these troughs are as strong or far south as the ones that have re-curved Danielle, Earl, or Fiona. Will be interesting to see since most models have been predicting an imminent wnw turn that is still not happening. Igors forward speed has slowed a bit but with the passing of the first trough it should move along again
