I hadn't seen anything in a few hours, but looking at the sat pics, it looks clear that the storm is to the right of the forecast point using the CIMSS link. If it's going to be this strong anyway, it would be nice to have a clear eye to track. It is also striking how much this storm has grown in size. Earlier I posted that I felt this would stay east of the Mississippi, and I think this track slightly to the right increases that possibility. Eventually this pressure drop is going to have to wind up the winds. I guess I should check, but one possibility is that maybe surrounding pressures are lower than normal.
