i believe hurricane season ends at the end of Nov.

That's right, and last year or the year before, I seem to recall one forming at the end of Nov. I hear that Hurricane Katie (sp?) formed this late in the season.

On a side note, the headers on weatherunderground.com for Tropical Storm Ida, titles it "Hurricane Ida." Be prepared, people! You never know what may happen.

I thought some sort of high pressure/cold front was supposed to keep it pushed oof the Gulf Coast? Did that change?

From Jeff Masters of Weather Underground:
The long-term fate of Ida if it reaches the Gulf of Mexico is hard to guess at this point, though the odds are against Ida hitting the U.S. as a hurricane, due to high wind shear.

Let's hope he's right!
