Not likely... That phenomenon is more associated to tropical disturbances in their formative stages, where as, in the case of Rita, she's deep in the troposphere and deeply teleconnected with synoptic scale changes in her surrounding environment; i.e., these affects are for too profound for any mesoscale processes with convection to impose a significant alteration in track.
...it's very interesting to me how structurally different Rita is than this time yesterday... Almost seems she's not only weaker, but smaller diametrically - trying to verify if that is true at this point. Either way, she's definitely constricted and/or weakened her CDO at the core.
