Based on my research of tropical remnants in LAF that I did years ago, I can't recall an instance of something that deep in the area, so yeah, it makes it easy to bet against. Even Ike only got down to about 988 mb while in Indiana... of course that had been a hurricane before that and I am not comparing this setup to Ike.
We don't get regular practice with this kind of thing in the Midwest... a tropical system being ingested by a negatively tilting trough and the whole thing hauling a**, but intuitively speaking, something toward the deeper outcomes (excluding HWRF) makes sense to me.
