I'm not ready to call fish storm on Igor yet, but that seems to be the trend with these Cape Verde storms. It's too soon she's only going 6mph. She ain't rushing to get anywhere anytime soon. I think it's gonna depend on whether or not another trough moves in over the Atlantic and Igor takes advantage of a weakness and curves on out.

Well, to be technical, in this case Igor is a he since Hermine was a she(if you didn't know, the names alternate he/she). I thought a couple weeks ago with a name like Igor, that's something to watch out for and it may be a scary one.
Igor has weakened to a tropical depression with winds of 35 mph at 5 PM EDT. It's fighting some shear at the moment, but the models forecast the shear to relax over the next few days. It's going to be a slow developing storm. Igor is way too far out in the Atlantic for any reliable predictions on the threat to land.
REGARDLESS OF THEEXACT INTENSITY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT IGORWILL GROW IN SIZE...POTENTIALLY BECOMING A LARGE-SIZED HURRICANE THAT WILL LIKELY RECURVE OUT TO SEA.
From the current projected paths, I am seeing another Danielle or Earl. It's like deja vu.
