MM5 also seems to underplay the ridge over the atlantic, so I'm not really sure this is a viable solution.

I am judging by the weather here in Galveston county, was hot, hot, hot clear skies, scatered TStroms, now for two days overcast and raining. Me thinks the B high is retreating and me also thinks that allows Emily to follow a more northly course.

I am still thinking mid upper Texas coast but would not rule out west LA or even Fla pan handle.
