Anyone have any ideas why NHC shows her going tword across state and then curving toward Georgia?
It's not the easiest concept to explain...
There is a big area of high pressure forecast to develop over the eastern US over the next few days. As Fay moves further north, it will 'run into' the fringes of the high and will be steered by the flow around it. As winds flow clockwise around a high, Fay will begin to move westward around the 'edge' of the high.
Does that make any sense?
