Everyone is betting on an area of high pressure to steer it north. Problem is it's moving very slowly (5mph vs 10mph) and that means it gets stronger the more it spends time over warm water. That also means areas of high pressure won't have the same level of influence if the storm that arrives is a 5 rather than the 3 everyone was expecting it to be a couple days ago.
The Bahamas will act as a slight buffer but warm waters off the coast will strengthen the storm. So this one is very much a wild card that is in play and you won't know exactly where it's going until the day before. There are lots of ways things could improve, but there are lots of ways things could actually get much worse.
It would be nice if this got steered northeast before anything really made landfall.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
