Why does the weather people have this storm turning north? The weather people are not out there waving this magic wand, chanting "Go to Houston, Go to Houston."
The science of meterology gets into steering currents and wind paths that guide weather systems.
The short answer? There's a weather system that Rita will slide around. Exactly where she will fall will depend on how fast the surrounding systems move to guide her toward the coast.
