Monday morning update
(cnn.com) – The fate of a US landfall is all dependent on if and when this storm turns northward. Right now the storm is moving west at 1 mph. The question is when will it turn northwest. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says it expects the storm will turn to the north over the next couple of days.
The good news for the US is that most of the forecast models meteorologist use — like the European and the American models — show the storm remaining offshore. – Source: cnn.com
