Re: Emily

No, generally speaking you've got it right. I'm guessing that the thinking is that by the time that Emily leaves Hispaniola, even a weaker system would still be influenced enough by the trough to pull it northward, although my inclination with a weaker system would be to add a little more of a westerly component to that northerly motion.
