Here is the computer models I am refering to.
<a href='http://maps.wunderground.com/data/images/at200514_model.gif'target='_blank'><img src='http://maps.wunderground.com/data/images/at200514_model.gif' width='500' height='375'></a>

Hopefully those models are wrong and it doesn't decide to come farther west at some point. NOAA's 5-day forecast map shows it heading even farther away from land in day 4 and 5.

I guess when it follows the red line, we're gettin in 2 weeks some showers...
