What interests me about this feature is that if the ULL erodes and elongates out to the SW as it seems to be doing , that could actually reinforce the ridge or build a secondary ridge in its wake that would certainly influence the storm's intensity and direction.

I'm not a scientist and this is just an opinion, but if this gets out of the way, I think Frances could stay south of the cyrrent model trend.
That's why we have to wait and see what shakes out tomorro, IMO.
