2. Your chart labels it a Cat 3.

Is that a projection or did it change??

6. Looks like a run for the NC/SC border

around Sunset/Emerald Isle and North Myrtle. Damn.

9. Are these the latest model runs for the path?

[supernova]

13. Yes, I guess so

but I don't get where they think it's going to turn sharply north, as three of those models do? :shrug:

15. A front moving across the country now

will push and steer the hurricane at some point and when they collide the hurricane will move more northerly.

"The track forecast
Bertha will start to slow down over the next few days as it "feels" the approach of a trough of low pressure scheduled to move off the U.S. East Coast on Thursday. This trough will force Bertha on a more northwesterly track towards Bermuda, and most of the computer models foresee that Bertha will pass close to Bermuda 5-7 days from now."
