Re: Gaston nearing hurricane strength

If Gaston where to remain in place for a longer time it might upwell the waters and cause a decrease in water temp, which would make that area un-favorable for Frances to strengthen.
I don't think it would push Frances further south because there is quite an area of water sperating them, If Frances took the current forecast that was said by the NHC.
