the other thing is how fast it moves over the cooler waters if it's in the cooler water. if it's there and stay there is longer, it will weaken as well. aside from that, the next 48 hours are going to be critical. we are watching the path. by monday, it should be north of puerto rico. a lot of things could inhibit it. it's crucial and we are going to monitor that. >> this is early, right?
