I am reasonably confident that IF Izzy does make it back to open water he will redevelop. Even if he gets downgrade to a TD status, if he gets back in the BOC I feel that redevelopment is a sure thing...
The key word is IF.... the expected turn to the northwest is not expected until later today or tonight... so we still need to wait and see if it happens.. just a slow drift south does not necessary preclude the potential for the northwest track... now if Izzy was tracking along at 10-15 mph to the south... yeah... but its drifting rather slowing right now... so I have not given up on the forecasted turn... YET
