Re: Hurricane Dean Approaches Lesser Antilles

I seem to recall over the last 3 seasons of following storms with y'all that someone had said that none of the spaghetti models account for the fact that a Cat 4/5 storm will tend to drift more north and east because they are powerful enough to generate their own steering winds. This would mean that every subsequent track on a big, powerful storm would be further northeast. Did I imagine this? Perhaps I need a "hurricane meteorology for dummies" course!
