Cool temperatures is making this hurricane worse.
No takers.
It is the cold air mass over the U.S. that is blocking the northward progress of the storm.
August has been cooler than usual. So the storm just sits there at the coast slowly meandering.
Back on Thursday or before meteorologist said what it would do & why.
