Well if this thing sits out in the GOM for a week or so there are going to be some really tight behinds along all the gulf coast... still can't see it above a Cat 3 or weak Cat 4 at this time.... don't like playing the waiting game... not at all... wears you out big time... we need this thing to make its mind up, screw the steering currents, and just go somewhere... period... ULL off to the west should enhance out flow in the NW quadrant... another factor, if it does just sit out in the GOM for an extended period upwelling certainly will be a factor and inhibit strengthening over time..... other than it dissipating, which I doubt happens, the best for all is for it to keep moving....
