Thoughts of Chris at 11pm.. WSW? South or Looping?

Remember when I said earlier today that Chris is mischievous and sneaky? And, stubborn.

Well.. a few hours ago I decided from watching the Water Vapor loop a long, long time (too long) that Chris was going to start his move west as the models predicted.

Then when people began freaking it was falling apart and becoming a mess I thought.. "no, its moving west south west"

And.. it seems to have done just that.

Now.. I ain't so sure what it's doing.

Looks at this particular moment at 11:30 that it is almost going SOUTH and I'm sorry Virginia but South was NOT in the game plan.

No model that I know of predicted a Southerly movement.

So.. I ask .. is this movement or is Chris fighting the atmospheric changes and is he merely looping slowly and will he resume a wnw path or even north of due west?

What gives?

Wish I knew.

But... best thing to be done is to go to bed... and see what it is doing in the morning.

Staying home tomorrow for Tish B'Av which is a Jewish Fast day and I don't have work as we are closed. So, I can space out and watch CNN and TWC all day if I need or write or do whatever needs to be done.

Something tells me this is more complicated than it looks.

Chris has not picked up forward speed and slowed down.

He is caught in very dry air be it Saharan Dust (SAL) or just dry air with numerous Upper Level Lows out there.

Tonight there was a massive blow up of weather and clouds in Kansas.. sudden. Sudden changes are never good when you have a wierd storm on the map and Chris is wierd, trust me.

So... going to bed... we will see what we will see.

Still thinking Keys are the most obvious target. South Florida... hmmmm maybe, but a Keys landfall would put us on the wet, NE side if it resumes wnw movement.

Cuba? Giggle, giggle.. sorry... why not but think not.. only because it's moving too slow and not covering enough geography and on Saturday when the high weakens as predicted it will pull north again a bit and how far west will it get going 8mph.. if that for 48 hours? Far, but not far enough to spare Florida.

Sleep well tonight... see what tomorrow brings.

IF it gets into the Gulf.. want to say Sabine River might be the long range target but we aren't sure what it is doing tonight let alone next week.

Chow for now.. Bobbi
