Look at the pressure charts. The hurricane will bounce off a high like a cue ball on a pool table, and the hurricane will suck into a low like a sliced golf ball to the ruff. There is a low moving in from the Midwest and a high holding over the Atlantic states. It the high stays in place the storm is heading to the central gulf coast. If the high collapses, the hurricane will turn north.
