as the CDO re-develops, so TOO will the anticyclonic high above. sure looks like a nice tropical storm...cat 1 at landfall. give me a break...that's only 25-40 mph increase or so...and the ENTIRE GULF OF MEXICO....

i can't think of a single storm with this kind of potential that DIDN'T strengthen considerably.

I am staying with my prediction of a cat 4-5 at landfall. Too many reasons it will develop, and not enough reasons to believe it won't...

FORWARD SPEED THE KEY...but that, of course, isn't telling anyone anything they don't already know.

anyone know if a stall is possible.?.....the way this thing has behaved....the last thing I am looking at is the computer models...just take a look at the whole picture, like Joe B does....
