Hey StormHound,

He was on Heartland?? on Fox News twice tonight. It was the usual fare..him trying to give an in-depth explanation for his forecast and the talking head chopping it all to hell and cutting him off. I think he was trying to explain that the north and eastern portion of the storm would draw energy from the gulf stream while the southern and western weakened from frictional effects over land, causing it to pull north along the coast. He also believed this could cause the eye to "wrap up" causing some additional increase in intensity as it came ashore.

Not sure I'm buying it as she looks to me to still be going almost due west, but I get the theory.
