Quick Question- Here's a weather belief that I hold and I want to know if it's true, false, or unresolved.
For Gulf storms that landfall on the northern Gulf Coast or potentially traversing along the Florida West Coast...
Does the land interaction cause or increase the risk that the storm turns to the right just before landfall (or, in the case of a storm like this, can it potentially cause it to "turn right" into a landfall)?
I recall several strong hurricanes appearing to turn or jog to the right along the northern Gulf coast.
Also, I'm talking generally...which may or may not be specific to this storm.
Lastly, if this were the case, would this or would this not be factored in to the track forecast?
