If this jet really gets going, it could strengthen the storm.

It also suggests there is not much ridging (if any) left to the N and NNE of the storm.

The next couple frames will be very interesting.

Hard to say... if the ridge really is gone, you could see the forecast shift east a bit.

Saying this, of course, will engender the immediate wrath of the AL/MS/LA crowd, so prepare yourself. :)

Yes, wouldn't the trough work to "ventilate" the system to the north, expanding it's outflow??

Cheese, that's my understanding. That's what appears to be unfolding on the WV loop.
