Could the steering currents bring it west far enough to affect the Upper Texas coast or are they prety sure on the alabam/florida coast?
They're pretty solid on the AL/FL coastline. The only question is how far west it'll go. I'm guessing between Pensacola and Mobile...
Posters at Hurricane City and Storm2K are both calling for AT LEAST cat 4 before landfall. The Gulf is as warm as bathwater, and unlike when Dennis came in last month, there's nothing to stir up and cool the waters before it makes landfall.
This could be really nasty, folks...
All I have looked at shows it will NOT go to Texas but rather Florida once more as the models show. 8am Monday predicts 125 mph when it hits land according to our local news in Orlando. It is very sunny here in Central Florida right now. Seems for some reason that the sun gets unusually bright during hurricanes.
