Turning North

Its 4:10AM in Tampa Florida, and Frances looks to be turning North. Is this just wishful thinking or a wobble? Let me know what you think.

It appears to have slowed and turned a little more NorthWest for the time being. Also, the NHC mentioned this in the 5AM Discussion. Good call Cookiely.

HOWEVER...UNANIMOULSY ALL GLOBAL MODELS ARE REBUILDING THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. THIS PATTERN WOULD FORCE THE HURRICANE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.


:idea:

Not entirely out of the woods anywhere along the E C yet...

Was not saying it was permanent. Even the NHC said it maybe begining a Slow Northwest Movement for the time being. AS stated in many other posts I believe this is a real threat to the US Coastline. Either in the Gulf, or along the Eastern Seaboard. Judging from the models ,it is a tossup.

The NHC mentions a trough again associated with the ULL north of 40N. Where the trough should be, there is an upper level low cutting off near Bermuda and rolling southwest. The main ULL north of 40 is starting to slide south behind Frances. Since this whole slab including the upper level high Frances is embedded in seems to be starting to roll I would not be surprised to see Frances swing south of due west sometime in the future. Nobody is off the hook yet.
