Thinking it's premature speculation to say that it could become a major hurricane. It has had problems getting to this point, it is a small storm, the water is not yet percolating under it and it has SAL around it and a ahead of it still and it is supposed to hit shear in a day or so..

One thing to say it will make hurricane or Category 1 and another to speculate yet on it's being a major hurricane.

If it stalls out and spins in the Bahamas under a strong ridge then maybe I'd believe anything but as for right now.. premature speculation I think.
