I still hold to what i said last night and early today in that this is will ALA and be a cat 3 maybe a low cat 3 even when landfall.This is setting up this way for 2 reasons IMO #1 the models have tranded back towards Mobile and #2 there looks to be alot of shear in the forcast before landfall,and since this torm is going to be slow moving i see a opal type storm in the making.

Now will this happen? no idea it is what i am feeling now looking at the models and the projected shear.

But the NHC says poss a 4 at landfall so by all means listen to them.
