theoretically

I think it's impossible to exactly predict where the hurricane will end up. it's a guess...and educated one...but a guess.

Rita has slowed to 9 mph forward speed...indicative of pushing against the high....now that she is as north as she is west...she'll roll off the high eastward.....natural coriolis forces pulling her north are also pushing her west. since she has now hit the nw trajectory....the nnw, n , nne are all next.

imho
