I agree Javlin...If you look at the history of storms over the last 15 years only a couple of paths take that hard turn North. That is....storms that were born in the lower latitudes like TD2. I think this one will move westerly for some time and maybe even get as far west as 90 Longitude. An example of one storm in August that didn't turn north and came from the same neighborhood about this time of year was Andrew in '92. The next 36 to 48 hours will obviously make or break the models. Many conditions factor in as always.
