Maria...Only Game In Town

Maria's the only game in town in the Tropics and she's refusing to follow the short term game plan from the NHC. She is barely moving, drifting at the most and she has missed her marks all day for the previous points she was supposed to be at.

Whether this is a problem down the road or just a wayside rest for Maria, time will tell.

It is possible that she is simply too small of a storm to get picked up easily by the steering currents that would pick up a stronger storm. Several of the models showed her getting to a place where she would be getting stronger...and yet she hasn't. She is what she is and she is not moving right now.

Worth watching though imagine the debates and the start of Monday Night Football and the Miami Dolphins Regular Season are a bit higher up on the excitement list than worrying on Maria.

If she doesn't move soon... it's something to worry on.

NHC Bottom line...salient point:
"ALTHOUGH MARIA HAS MOVED VERY LITTLE TODAY...THE MODEL GUIDANCE
INSISTS THAT THE CYCLONE WILL BEGIN MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD
AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF A LOW- TO MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE
CENTRAL ATLANTIC. MARIA SHOULD TURN NORTHWARD "
