From a Novice perspective....

Watching the water vapor loop, it appears that Frances skirted North of the Bahamas. Is this True? If so, does this move her more Northerly. Also, from the west, I see what I would call a front moving in and what appears to be an area of shear in the GOM. What effect/time would this have on Frances? Also, trying to watch the ridge above her in the same loop, doesn't it bulge north to some degree? Could she force her way north?

I know, novice, but I live near Charleston and would like to see Frances dissolve.

nah, modeling is grouped on east florida.. looks like we're in the clear further up the coast. not likely that's going to change this late in the game.-HF
