it seems like the last several years there is always something wrong with any system that develops. this is a rocket, and like dr lyons said, it is catching up with the trough in front of it. slow down, or die claudette.

Our local met said it will slow and become a cat1..Interesting too... he says it's too early to tell yet where she is going and it's too early too tell if we have a cat1 in the E GOM later this weekend..I didn't like how he worded that..especially being the guidance is mostly west!!! :o And he is usually down playing anything out there..Will be an interesting couple of days!!! :wink:
