probably will be between strong tropical storm and weak hurricane...

however....what is interesting about these storms is their unpredictability. I love going out on a limb and predicting the worst. Not sure why....maybe it goes back
to my childhood. probably need therapy...ha!

think it could still blossom a little...appears to be wrapping around itself...we all know what the GOM can do...

what are the potentials...given the SST's, and the wind shear....and the dry air to the west?...

the dry air is backing off a little...and it appears to me the storm is starting to get it's act together....

we shall see....

let's have fun and make predictions...
