There was a hurricane last year I believe that looked like it was going to spin off NNE in the Atlantic that did a loop and came back and hit Florida's east coast.
Any chance of this doing that based on what you see?
I am a weather expert like my local station has, I can tell you tomorrow what it did today.
That was in 2004 - Jeanne.
Any chance of this doing that based on what you see?
Doubtful - a trough is supposed to drop down and pull the storm off first to the North and then the NE. The question is, how far west will the storm get before that happens?
Right now, it looks like an upper-level low is beating it to a pulp (no convection west of the center that I can see) - and that will also help push it further northwards.
I really resent the local media weather-whores. They are just recycling the NOAA.org data.
I have more up to date information here at FR than ANY news service.
The AM stations are probably pushing their ad agents into overdrive telling customers people will be trapped home.
