Bastardi: Rita MAY loop around and come back into the Gulf .. he's still worried .. and talking about the new tropical wave action coming into the Caribbean. "I'd like to think we have a good handle on things." They're trying to figure out if it's gonna get handed off to the cold front, or looping back into the Gulf .. and just sitting there with more rain to New Orleans etc. .. . and then the trouble really begins." He's vewy worried.
If it looped, do you know if it would loop to left or right?
Truth be told, I can't decide which would be worse. If she looped around and back into the gulf, she probably wouldn't intensify past tropical storm strength, and if the high moved out of the way by then, she'd go through faster the second time, perhaps dumping less rain overall than if she stalled.
