What is out there that could turn the storm North if it reaches the gulf? Bad time for a storm, school's starting next week. Kids already wishing for hurricane days. I know that the high over the SE right now is what is steering Erin, if it stays in place would the N gulf area be spared?




That is exactly what we are having trouble seeing at this point. Those living along the Gulf Coast are just simply going to have to know that forecasters (and models alike) will not have a better grip on Dean and the accompanying synoptics until Saturday, at the earliest.

And the pattern that is in place with Erin could easily change by next week (and will).
