Considering the resiliency so far from Bonnie, I seriously doubt that she will die in the GOM in the hot part of August. The water vapor loop shows dry air on the west side, but this will close in as the somewhat stalled front and Bonnie rendezvous.

She will become a hurricane, and explode. I think the fact the eye is so small, and that it has never been seen before in a storm this new, is interesting, and might pose a few curves no one has thought of.

It's Charley that will be the widowmaker...a true Gilbert or Andrew in the making.

we shall see.
