The latest Tropical Storm Richard track modeling has shown a slowing in forward progress. It is now moving west-northwesterly at only 3 to 8 MPH and due to this temporary slowdown, the upper level steering currents will push Richard farther west than earlier modeling was showing. This will allow Richard to be over land late this weekend for a greater amount of time as it weakens and this storm may not emerge into the Gulf of Mexico until late Tuesday October 26 or Wednesday October 27. Since it is moving slowly, the upper level effects in place by the middle of this coming week may allow Richard to curve more easterly with time. However, it is much too early to be able to predict a track much past Thursday, October 28.
We are watching this event unfolding and will post unofficial updates as needed.
