Hello, idiot noob here
Been lurking awhile though, found this place last year

My question for the hurricane wizards is:
"How does the storm intensity affect the steering of the storm?"

For example, in reading all the posts in this thread there is quite a bit of mention about how west Wilma is in relation to when the trough picks it up, that that would make her go more southerly

BUT, if she is at a high (extreme) intensity, would that not correct some of that westerly movement in relation to the overall long-term forecast track?
I mean, since it's so strong, will that intensity counteract any westerly movements and that is why the track is where it is, because they pre-planned this level of intensity from the beginning?

Thanks,
Your new stupid noob
