If Frances moves into the Gulf, it'll probably be via following a track
which briefly slides right-of-projection (i.e., NW, feinting at S.Car),
then slows down, then hooks due west and picks up speed across the
pennisula. (It would then gradually recurve northwest into the northern
Gulf coast.)

If it does that, it could (following analogies) intensity explosively
upon the hook-west portion of the leg, as that implies resumption of
deep easterly flow.
